RANDY: You made this mess.

And if Luke dies,
that's on you, too.

BARNUM: Hey, hey, Joe.
Hey, Joe, let him go.

ALISHA: I'll talk to Sheridan.

She's a strong girl. She is.

I'm more worried about you.

I'm fine.

I can only imagine
how awful it is

not knowing where your mom is.

"Make sure no hunter
ever feels safe again."

Joe, this is our
guy. Wolverine.

These people have already
tried to k*ll me twice.

And where we're going
next, it'll all make sense.

You're not gonna believe it.

Randy Pope is Wolverine.

[THUDS][RANDY GRUNTS]

Did you k*ll Frank Urman?

No, I swear.

[SCREECHES]

[SCREECHES]

[SQUAWKING]

[WHISPERING] Thank
you. God bless you.

[BIRD SCREECHES]

STUMPY: Hello? Help!

[g*n CHAMBER WINDING]

We've got an emergency!

Can you hear me, mister?

Hey!

Hey, mister?

What's the problem?

STUMPY: It's old Paul.

He seized up and started
foaming at the mouth.

You're the first person
we've seen for miles.

He's my dad, and I'm
not gonna lose him.

We need a doctor!

STUMPY: What the
hell are you doing?

You're not gonna help us?

The fastest way to a
doctor is to keep floating.

STUMPY: Are you serious?

I'll call for an ambulance.

If his dad dies, that
blood is on your hands!

Now.

[g*n FIRES TWICE][BOTH GROAN]

[GRUNTS]

[g*n FIRES]

[GROANING]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS]

Hey.

Hey.

They just got here.

Barnum's booking
Randy right now.Great.

You should come in, too.

You know this Wolverine
account better than anyone.

We could use you in questioning.

I... I just don't
understand, Joe.

I don't understand why Randy
would k*ll all these men.

Yeah, I know. Doesn't make a
lick of sense to me, either.

I feel like I have more
questions now than I did before.

Well, Randy's got the answers
and we've got Randy, so...

I don't wanna hear this
crap. Do you understand me?

RANDY: I know. Hey,
I didn't do it!

Stop! Hey, what's
he been saying?

Hey, hey, hey. Take
it easy, all right?

Just a little thing called "police
business." Of which you have none.

JOE: What are you
talking about?

It's Marybeth and I
that broke this case.

That's funny.

I seem to recall that it was me

doing all that fancy
computer analysis.

Very advanced stuff.

MARYBETH: You've got to
be kidding me, right?

You just plugged in information
that we brought you.

JOE: He doesn't
get a say anyway.

The governor put Game and
Fish in charge of this case.

Get out of the way.

Yeah, well, Game and
Fish were also behind it.

Well, that's got to be an
all-time greatest screwup, huh?

Yeah.Hey. Take it easy.

What are you doing?

I'm tired of you
disrespecting my authority.

Joe. Joe! Pickett,
I'm not joking.

Joe! Joe! BARNUM: Hey,
what's going on here?

He's stepping on my foot.
Hey, hey, hey! What the hell?

Back up. Both of you back up!

Sorry, he's...
[PANTING] Sorry.

He's not letting me back there.

I know what he's doing
because I told him to do it.

Why? Why?

This is why.

You're a live wire, Joe.
You come into my station

and start smacking my deputy up,

now granted he's not the
smartest guy in the world,

but he is still the
law. I am the law.

There are some big questions
that need to be asked.

I just want to talk to him.
Just want to talk to him.

And what? So you can choke him
out like you did last time?

You know, you almost
k*lled him, Pickett?

Oh!

So you... You didn't tell
your lady about that one, huh?

Boy. Pickett has a real
firm grip on this...

BARNUM: That's enough, Deputy.

Look, I'm grateful for
the help you two gave.

I really am.

But we caught the guy.

It's done. Okay? And I can't risk
you going in there, flipping out

and giving the judge an
excuse to let Randy walk.

I am fine. You're not fine.

Now, look, I get it.

Chasing a k*ller is thrilling.

It's addictive, even.

But catching 'em? It's not.

The high is over, it's
hard to let it go.

But I'm asking you to do
just that. Joe, please.

Okay, take all those
feelings you got inside,

go home.

See your lovely kids, and
just put it out of your mind.

Just let it go.
I got this, Joe.

I got it.

[SOFTLY] Joe

Marybeth, just take him home.

[EXCLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION]

[EXHALES]

I didn't almost k*ll him.

He was talking about Luke
and I didn't even hurt him.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY NEARBY]

Didn't hurt him.

Okay.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Joe, why don't you go home?

Get some rest. I'll
get the girls. Okay?

No, I'll get 'em.

It'll be good to see 'em.

I'm okay.

Joe? I'm okay.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR][GASPS]

You're early.

Yeah.

Yeah, I was in the neighborhood.

How are you?

Fine.

Yeah. Everything's...

Fine.

If I'm not overstepping,
you don't sound fine.

I'm just feeling some...

Um...

Frustration, about work.

Wanna come in for a few?

[EXHALES]

And so I'm just... I mean...

I'm struggling a bit

knowing what I'm supposed
to do with all these

rising...

Feelings?

Sure.

I guess.

Maybe it's not about
containing them.

Maybe it's about accepting them.

Or accepting yourself.

Why are you so scared

of putting your
emotions out there?

[SCOFFS] I'm... I'm just not very
good at this emotional stuff.

Well, maybe I was...
I was better off

before I even started
opening it all up.

I... I was.

Like, when you almost
got yourself k*lled?

Twice?[SCOFFS]

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Have you ever put
any thought into

why you're talking
to a child counselor

instead of, you know,
one for grown-ups?

We're not really, "talking."

I mean, we're just...

You know, talking.

Mmm-hmm.

Well, if we were talking,
I might say something like,

maybe there's a
child part of you

that really needs to be heard.

Maybe that's why you're here.

Yeah, I don't really
think that's...

Okay, try something with me.

Close your eyes

and imagine Young
Joe is here with you.

What would Little
Joe have to say?

What would you wanna tell him?

Try.

This whole thing makes
me feel so stupid.

Don't worry about it.
It's just you and I.

Close your eyes and think,

what would Young Joe
want to tell you?

[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]

[SHOUTING] Why won't
you listen to me?

[GASPS SOFTLY]

Phew!

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]

I have to get my kids.

Uh, um, well, it was nice
talking to you again, Joe.

So, where is this magical place

where all my questions
will be answered?

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] It's
not a magical place.

It's just the home
of an old friend.

You sure he's your
friend, right?

NATE: Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, you know, we've
got a little baggage,

but...[g*n COCKING]

ROBBIE: You're damn
right, we do.Robbie.

Hands in the air. Let's go.

Your g*n, on the ground. All
right, now, just wait a second.

You didn't give me a sec!

NATE: I'm gonna turn
around. Alright?

Listen, it was a
misunderstanding, brother.

Well, understand this.

If you don't kiss
the dirt right now,

I'm gonna paint these g*dd*mn
woods with your brain!

Drop the g*n.

Now!

I'll do you one better.

You guys want some dinner? I
bagged a couple rabbits.[SCOFFS]

You assh*le! Man!

Man, scared is not a good
look on you, brother.

I still look better than you.

[CHUCKLES]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Good to see you, man.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]ROBBIE:
You too, man.

Good to see you. Oh, wow.

Oh, Cricket. This
is Robbie Jax.

Yeah, I'd say I'm charmed,
but I'm actually just annoyed.

[BOTH LAUGH]

How you do that to
me, bro? I would!

You got me!

LUCY: Come on, Maxine.

[MAXINE BARKS]

Hi.What's for dinner?

Mom, I'm starving.

Oh, I'm...

I'm not sure yet.

I guess we're
having chips. Yes!

Come on. Come on. Let's go.

We're gonna have chips for
dinner. LUCY: Chips for dinner.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.
Just... Just thinking.

Same.

I was... I spoke to...

Have you... Uh...

You go.

What happened at the station,

I know you just think
it was angry me,

looking for a fight.

No, I don't think that.
You don't think that?

No.

I think you were...

You were fighting
to get to the truth

and I think they were
standing in the way.

For both of us.

Does this mean you wanna
keep investigating?

I think we have to, Joe.

Look, something wasn't
sitting right with me.

It just didn't make sense.

So, I read through all
of Wolverine's posts,

and they're eloquent
and powerful.

Randy is neither.

Yeah. [CHUCKLING]
He couldn't...

He couldn't dress a field mouse.

Let alone butcher a grown man.

I think they have the wrong guy.

And I think more people will die

if you and I don't keep at it.

The problem is, if he
didn't do it, then who did?

Maybe we're asking the wrong
question. What do you mean?

Well, asking "who" the k*ller
is has gotten us nowhere.

What about "why"?

Why is someone framing
Randy as Wolverine?

What did he do?

What did Frank and Wally do?

Who did they piss off?

Who do they owe money to?

What do they know?

You're so damn
good, you know that?

What? What do you mean?

Solving cases.

Solving me.

Looking like that.

What do we do now?

What do I wanna do?

[BOTH LAUGH]

[CHUCKLES SHEEPISHLY]

I guess...

I could go to Cheyenne.

I'll see if anyone at Game
and Fish had it out for Randy.

Okay, I'll talk to Blaire.

See if she'll walk me
through Frank's last days.

Maybe she can remember

if he was in any
kind of trouble.Mmm.

Let's catch this guy.

HANK: I mean did you hear him
squealing when Barnum grabbed him?

It was louder than the g*nshots.

[MIMICKING RANDY] "It
wasn't me. [WHIMPERING]"

Yeah, and I knew
Pope was a criminal.

I've been saying that for years.

All bureaucrats are.

Game wardens are just
thieves out for our money.

And now we know
they're murderers, too.

You know, I don't doubt that ass-hat
Joe Pickett was Randy's accomplice.

Three cheers to whatever hunter

stuck those elk heads on
the Picketts' fence. Eh?

Whoo!

Three cheers to that coward.

And three more cheers
to that coward's fans.

[SLURPS]

You calling me a coward?

Yes.

And I'd like to add assh*le

and degenerate and
sicko to the list

because my grandkids
were inside that house.

Good.

I hope they saw.

I hope they have
nightmares about it.

[THUDS][SCREAMS]

[GROANS]

Learn how to talk to a lady.

[GROANING]

Enjoy the payday.

'Cause it's your last. Or did
you forget who owns this bar?

This isn't a bar.

This is a bathroom stall!

Come on, Derek.

These cretins do not deserve us.

[PATRONS CLAMORING]

Your family tree should be just
as unique and special as you are.

Very nice, Julie.

April, that's a very nice tree,

but we present tomorrow.

I think you should
move on to pictures.

Oh! So nice. Oh! So colorful.

Wow. Very good.

NEWSCASTER: Wyoming Game and Fish
Department...[DOORBELL RINGS]

Randy Pope has been arrested.

He is a suspect in the
murders of five hunters.

[SNIFFLES]

Oh, Marybeth.

I'm sorry for the intrusion.

Do you mind if I
come in for a minute?

It's no intrusion.

Please. Thank you.

Come in.

There.

Thank you.

You want something to drink?

There's wine.

Or I'm sure I could find some
water around here someplace.

Water would be fine, thank you.

I'm sure you're glad
this is all over.

I don't know about "glad."

It's good they got that
bastard behind bars.

Of course.

Now we just have to make
sure he stays there.

Thank you.

Why wouldn't he stay?

Well, to...

To get a conviction, they'll
need to prove a motive.

Otherwise...

He could walk.

What are you, some sort of
a district attorney now?

No, just a concerned
citizen, friend.

Trying to make sure this goes
the way it should. That's all.

Can you think of any reason

that Randy would
want to hurt Frank?

Because he's a psychopath.

Do you think it

maybe could have been
something personal

between the two of them?

There are some bad people
in this world, Marybeth.

Evil people.

And it's... It's hard for honest folks
like us to imagine that it's true.

But it is.

It's just

the nature of Frank's death,

it was so extreme.

I'm not sure what you
think you're getting at

but my husband was
a wonderful man.

Even good people can
make enemies, Blaire.

Oh, you were right.

This... This is an intrusion.

I'm... I'm actually
feeling rather tired.

I'm sure you understand.

Of course.

I'm sure your husband
was a wonderful man.

[PHONE RINGING]

WENDY: Wyoming Game
and Fish Department.

No, Randy did not k*ll those
people using taxpayer money.

[MOUTHING]

Yes, I can take a
message for you.

Okay. Thank you.

[PHONE RINGING]

Wyoming Game and Fish
Department. How may I help you?

No, I don't know
when he'll be back.

They haven't told me yet.
What is your message?

[PHONE RINGING]

Looking for
something?[METAL CLINKS]

You shouldn't
sneak up on people.

And you shouldn't be snooping
through your boss's office.

[SIGHS]

Don't worry. I'm just
busting your chops.

Besides, you're not
gonna find anything.

Randy is the most boring
person I ever met.

Wendy?

Do you know if he
had any enemies?

Like, anyone that would benefit

from him being out
of the picture?

You can't swing a dead cat

without hitting one
of Randy's enemies.

Even his friends
seem to hate him.

Really?

What do you mean?

Well, about a month ago

Randy and his buddy,
Warren Tucker,

had a huge shouting
match right here.

Warren Tucker? As in...

Yeah. The serial
k*ller's second victim.

I don't know what
he was on about,

but he was angry. And loud.

Huh...

That's helpful. Thanks.

[PHONE RINGING]

If you really wanna thank me,

get the Governor to
reopen the season.

These hunters are ready to
mount my head on the wall.

Which honestly, doesn't
sound too bad right now.

[RINGING CONTINUES]

[RINGING STOPS]

WENDY: Wyoming Game
and Fish Department.

How may I help you?

Yes, I can take a message.

No, I don't know
when he'll be back.

I just told you.

What is your message?

Okay. Thank you.

[PHONE RINGING]

WENDY: Wyoming Game
and Fish Department.

How may I help you?

Look at you. You're new.

Nice work.

Hey, call me back. I
think I found a lead.

It looks like Randy
was doing some hunting

or he had some help.

I'll, uh, I'll explain
when I get home.

Okay. I love you.

[PHONE DISCONNECTS]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Why won't you leave?

Because you won't let me.

There's something in the road.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GASPS]

[WOLVES HOWLING]

Nate and I worked special
ops together back in the day.

The unit was called Mark V.

Top secret, of course.

And I'm guessing
you were the muscle

and Nate was the pretty boy?

[LAUGHS] I like you.

I like her.

Nate was a JOAT operator.

Jack of all trades.

You could drop him
behind enemy lines

with a flashlight
and a hunting Kn*fe,

he'd find his way back with
a necklace made of ears.

What kind of missions involve
ripping people's ears off?

ROBBIE: The kind where
after enough of them,

you start to wonder who
you're really fighting for.

That's why we left.

And your private
little NSA here?

Well, just 'cause I'm retired

doesn't mean the bad guys are.

I monitor government databases,

listen to chatter,

pull phone records.

Whatever I need to do to stay
a few feet ahead of them.

Pulling phone records?
That's illegal surveillance.

Just 'cause it's illegal
doesn't make it wrong.

And vice versa.

Worst things I ever did
were in the name of the law.

Yeah. I just realized
that I'm not hungry.

Does this bunker
have a restroom?

[LAUGHING]

Oh. Hell no.

Hey, I tried to reach
the other brothers.

But never heard anything back.

You?

Hmm.

Nunez drove his
car off a bridge.

Sweeney took a b*llet in a
home invasion gone wrong.

McCarthy's just straight-up MIA.

Man, I was hoping you would
have some information.

NATE: Three weeks
ago, I was att*cked

in Montana, unprovoked.

I didn't know what
to think then, but...

I found this.

All of those names,
all in there.

Plus you, me, Big Merle.

I had my suspicions, but
this makes it pretty clear.

ROBBIE: This is a hit list.

Nemecek.

It's gotta be him.

I don't know who
else it could be.

Somebody's cleaning house.
Taking out all the old-timers?

It's not just
old-timers on this list.

Who's Joe Pickett?

A friend, and that's what
I'm telling you, man.

The connection is me.

Cricket Ludlow.

I'm so sorry.

All those deaths,

our brothers,

it's my fault.

No. It's not your fault.

But it is your burden.

Now, I don't know what happened

between you and Nemecek,

but I do know this.

He is not going to rest

until he takes out you
and everyone on this list.

[NATE SIGHS]

Any advice for an old friend?

Be careful who you trust.

Knowing Nemecek, he's
probably got someone

planted close to you already.

A sleeper agent? Where?

Wherever you call home.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hey. Hey, you're back.

I just got your voicemail.

I'm guessing Blaire
gave you a lead?

The opposite, actually.
She stonewalled me.

And when I asked her if Frank
could have done anything to Randy,

she nearly threw me
out of the house.

That's a bit suspicious.

I thought so, too,

so I spent the day digging
through their files.

Look at this.

What is it?

It's an invoice

for Dan Garrett's
funeral expenses,

paid for by Frank's
Bull Grove Foundation.

Frank paid for Dan
Garrett's funeral?

He sure did, and
it wasn't cheap.

These guys were close.

You know, Randy and
Warren Tucker were, too.

They got into some big fight
right after Dan Garrett d*ed.

Frank knew Dan... Mmm-hmm.

And Randy knows Warren
and Wally Conway?

We've been looking at
these m*rder victims

like they were lone wolves.

But what if they were a pack?

A pack doing what?

Well, people think
that packs and herds

they're the same, living
together like a family.

But they're not.

With packs, they don't
shelter together,

they don't raise
their young together.

In the wild, wolves only
come together for one thing.

To hunt.

[SIGHS]

Hi.

Hi.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Okay.

Okay.

[SIGHS]I guess you probably
have to wake up early.

I do.

Okay.

Talk about anything interesting?

No. Just catching
up on old times.

Hell of a guy, right?[CHUCKLES]

So no talk of any hit
lists with my name on it?

Really? No response?

You didn't think
I deserved to know

that a squad of
special ops psychos

were gunning for my head?

I just... I just didn't
want you to panic, Cricket.

That's not your choice to make.

[SCOFFS]

You know what's pathetic?

I actually thought
you had a good reason

for disrespecting me like this.

I just don't want...

What?

Go on.

What?

I'm a cop, Nate. Not
a little princess.

You know, I've done so much emotional
work trying to figure you out.

And I've realized what it is.

You tell the world you're alone

because it's made
you too dangerous.

But really, you're alone
because you're just selfish.

I'll sleep in the hammock.

Tomorrow I'm going
back to Saddlestring.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[EXCLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION]

Honey.

I know you said you felt like

there was a pane of
glass between us.

But I want you to know,

I'm right here.

I know.

Thanks.

MARYBETH: April! The bus is
gonna be here any minute.

Hello.

You in there?

What's going on, sweetie?

It's time to get
up, get dressed.

Can't go to school today.

I'm sick.

Okay.

You don't have a temperature.

Is there another reason you
don't wanna go to school?

No. I told you. I'm sick.

[COUGHING]

You know I love you
very much, right?

Mmm-hmm.

But you still have
to go to school.

Come on, hon.[WHINES]

Okay? Get that rear
in gear, kiddo.

[WHINES]

I know why you don't
want to go to school.

I don't know any other names.

I can't have just two.

Why don't you just
add us to your tree?

You didn't put me on yours.

I don't blame you.

I wouldn't want me either.

[SIGHS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY]

You look stunning.

Well, anyone would look stunning

next to other patrons
in cargo shorts.

You know, when you said
you knew a classy joint,

I was thinking filet
mignon, not filet-o-fish.

If it isn't the best
burger you have ever had,

I will eat my hat.

Oh. That might
be a better meal.

Well, how about this?

After today, until forever,

you can pick where we dine.

Derek, it's been fun,

but this is not going
to last forever.

Why not?

Because now that
I've lost my job,

I cannot be running
around having fun.

I have expenses,

and I've got to stop
thinking with my heart

and start thinking
with my handbag.

And unfortunately, Derek,

you're poor.

Well, Emerson said,

"Without a rich heart,
wealth is an ugly beggar."

That's what plastic
surgery's for.

[LAUGHS]

You're so funny.

You are. You know that?

You make me laugh.

I do like that you
have read Emerson.

Kyle liked to brag that he
had never read an actual book.

Well, I think you'll find
not all us country boys

are like Kyle McLanahan.

There's plenty I would
do that he wouldn't.

Like take you dancing.

This weekend. Missy, I look
real good on the dance floor.

Yeah? [LAUGHS]I do.

Well, first, let me try
this amazing burger.

And you need to know

I will be having the onion
rings for an additional $ . .

I think I can swing that.

Wow.

I hope you're here to tell
me hunting season is open.

That or write me a check
for all the business I lost.

I just got some questions
for you about Randy Pope.

Oh, yeah?

What about?

Well, I know you did some
work for him a few weeks back

and I was just wondering
if anyone came in with him.

Well, who's to say
I did a job for him?

Well, I saw the mount.

No one does work as well as you.

You might want to
lower the quality

if you don't want people
to know that it's yours.

I don't talk about my
clients or their game.

Store policy.

Hmm. What about
covering for K*llers?

That store policy, too?

I had nothing to do
with those murders.

All right? Look, this
job requires discretion

and I got a reputation
to maintain.

So you can either
arrest me for something,

or you can find the door.

OLIVER: Hey, you
can't be back here.

Why?

Because of all the illegal
mounts that you're making here?

Oh, bullshit.

Well, the mount I saw
in Randy's office,

it's a bighorn sheep.

Only a handful of permits

are given out each
year for bighorns.

Randy didn't have one.

I checked.

Which means you're
working poached game.

Now, I didn't come in here
to shut you down, Oliver,

but if you don't start
answering my questions,

that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

Randy Pope is a game warden.

I assumed he was up to code.

I'm gonna give you
one more chance.

I want you to think about it.

Is Randy's privacy
worth everything

that you've built in here?

Think about it.

All right. Fine.

Randy is a regular.

Okay.

Comes by once a year.
Same time every year.

Did he bring anyone
in here with him?

No. But this year
he left this.

What? Right here.

JOE: Dan Garrett,
Warren Tucker,

Wally Conway, Frank
Urman, Randy Pope.

Hank Scarlett?

And that is the Scarlett tree!

What a wonderful, intimate
portrait you painted, Julie.

Thank you. Such
important history.

Guys.

[ALL APPLAUDING]

All right. Who would
like to go next?

April, how about you?

April?

Miss, can I go next?

This is my family.

Grandma Missy. She absolutely
hates being called Grandma.

My dad. He's a game warden.

He helps take care of animals.

Then there's my mom.

She's the toughest
person I know.

This is my little sister, Lucy.

She's a people
person, like my mom.

This is my new sister, April.

I feel so lucky to
have a new sister.

Someone to share
everything with.

The good and the bad.

I wish I had something
sexier to offer you.

You could do worse than a
little Spam for the road.

[CHUCKLES]

Thanks, brother.
Stay safe, huh?

Come on. What's
the fun in that?

Good luck.

Yeah.

Listen, I'm sorry
about last night.

Don't care.

You were right about everything.

See previous comment.

And I have one last
confession to make.

[SIGHS]

There was another reason
I brought you out here.

Is that so?

What is that?

Take a look.

Are these Marissa Left
Hand's phone records?

Completely untraceable.

Robbie's a genius
with this stuff.

That's illegal.

Good thing you didn't
pull them yourself, huh?

If this is you starting
an apology tour,

FYI, you have a long way to go.

I know. I also know

it's a long ride
to Saddlestring.

[SIGHS]

So this is the wolf pack?

Four of them are dead.Mmm-hmm.

And one's in jail.

If there was any doubt

that they were up to no good,

Hank Scarlett pretty
much wipes that out.Yeah.

This is confirmation of
everything we suspected.

Well, these guys
either did something

or they know something.
And now someone's

snuffing them out man by man.

So what do we do?

Tell Barnum?

No.[SIGHS]

All we got is a photo.

I mean, he'll just shut us down

unless we find
out what they did.

So then what? I don't
want you confronting Hank.

He's dangerous.

You have no idea what he'd do

if his back was
against the wall.

There is one other option.

What?

Seeing this is shaking
something loose.

It's a story that I heard once

about a group of hunters

got themselves
into something bad,

I don't remember all of
it, but something tells me

it's connected to
what's going on now.

Okay. Well, who
told you the story?

Well, that's the problem.
