The guy that tags it second

gets a set of steak knives.

And if any of you manage

not to put a single round in this thing,

then you get sent to the Philippines.

Let's do this.

Locked, cocked, and ready to rock.

Rah-ooh-ah!

So this guy is like

your chief or something?

Well, the tribe's chief, yeah.

Wow.

But he lives in a regular house.

Were you expecting a teepee

or something?

[Laughs]

Yeah, right.

Hello.

Welcome.

Hi.

You knew we were coming?

I did.

Did you see it in a dream?

Saw you through the window.

Come on.

I remember the first time I met you.

It was the day you moved to crowley.

You were six.

Um, seven.

You remember that day?

Um, I remember a ceremony.

An initiation ceremony.

The day you moved to crowley

was the day

you joined the Choctaw nation.

You're here about the wolf.

How did you know?

That I did see in a dream.

[Insects buzzing]

[Clicking tongue]

What?

What are you doing?

Hold on a minute.

I'm telling you there's no such thing

as a mating call for wolves.

- Shh.

- Put the horn...

[loud droning]

[Droning in distance]

Let it get a few kills first.

That'll slow it down.

[Growling and snarling]

Just put it away and cover me.

Come on.

[Snarling and growling]

[Screaming]

[Growling and snarling]

Many years ago, there was

a tribe that lived in this area,

a tribe of mighty warriors, the Atakapa.

All tribes that stood

before them fell, all but one.

The white man was too many, too strong,

and without mercy.

Their greatest warrior,

a brave named Skunomoke,

could not bear to live in defeat.

For many nights, he called upon

the ancient powers.

With ancient and terrible magic,

Skunomoke sacrificed his flesh

to the animal inside.

[Roaring]

As cachina hua'a,

Skunomoke brought vengeance

to his enemies.

They tried in vain to hunt him.

But cachina hua'a does not

breathe the air

or drink from the streams.

How do you stop the rain?

How do you kill the wind?

After he took his revenge,

did he become a man again?

No, once a change is done

it cannot be undone.

Turner just filed an

injunction based on the attacks.

No, I just came from the court house.

It's the real deal.

If he pushes this thing through,

we're done.

I'll handle it.

[Phone beeps]

It's me.

You know the other thing

we talked about?

That timeline just moved up.

Change of plans.

What about the wolf?

Gets to live for one more glorious day.

Let's go.

So this wolf is our wolf?

You saw its eyes.

They were definitely

not those of an animal.

So this Skunamore...

Skunomoke, man.

Skunomoke has just been

running around the woods

for 300 years?

Cachina hua'a was a killing spirit

with an appetite for blood

that knows no limit.

As time passed,

the need for vengeance waned,

and it soon became clear that

the creature must be stopped.

But how?

Only another Atakapa warrior

can kill the beast.

To kill a wolf requires

a magic as strong and as dark

as that which created it,

an arrowhead from a bone of an enemy,

an exchange of a life for a life.

A warrior died to stop the wolf.

Magic this powerful rarely

comes without great cost.

Skunomoke sacrificed himself

for the good of his tribe.

And for this warrior,

it was no different.

They carried the wolf to his afterlife,

and an eternal flame burns

in the memory of his spirit.

Legend says that if our tribe

should ever need his power again,

the flame will extinguish as a warning

that the cachina hua'a returns.

What enemies?

There are no more tribal wars.

Holter Ex.

This is war against Holter Ex.

I mean, think about it.

That's why all the victims

work for stark.

That's why the wolf spared you, Yale.

Well, half the state

works for Holter Ex.

What about Burt?

He sold his land

the morning that he died.

I watched him sign the contract.

When did you scope this place out?

Last night.

When do you sleep?

When I'm dead.

Crowell, you're up.

25 meters.

Two clicks to the left.

Got you.

Well, we're gonna have to find

one of these Atakapa

and have him kill it for us.

The tribe of the Atakapa is extinct.

There are none left.

That's not entirely true.

There is one, the last of the Atakapa.

[Gunshot]

Chief!

Take them out.

[Gunfire]

[Gunshots]

No, chief!

[Gunfire]

[Explosion]

All right, look, I want leads, people.

Anything and everything.

Where's my list of primes?

Working on it.

All right, look, the clock is

running here, all right?

The clock is running quick.

We're running out of time.

This was not an animal attack.

All right, somebody did this.

I want to know who,

and I want to know why.

Higgins, what happened to those hunters?

And please don't give me any bad news.

I got nothing.

No one called it in, sheriff.

All right, somebody get me one

of those hunters.

I want a status update.

Look, Maria.

You're gonna have to stay here

for the night, you three,

all right, until we figure out

just what the hell is going on.

- Can we help?

- I'll let you know, all right?

Look, get me a grid map

of Acadia parish.

Not that one, no, no, no.

Go get the red one, the red one.

Sheriff Bennet.

[Phone ringing]

What the hell is your problem?

No problem.

It's done.

Yes, I know it's done.

You want to know how I know it's done?

Because you made such a mess

it's on the damn news.

You never said, "make it pretty."

You said "hand of God" style.

Since when does God use grenades?

I'm hanging up now.

Don't you even...

[insects chirping]

[Knocking]

Hey, what's up?

Suit up.

We're going hunting.

You got to be kidding me.

I'm feeling lucky.

Well, I was feeling lucky.

[Door slams]

Maybe we should just get

the hell out of this town.

Tonight, let's go.

Let's just go to New York.

What are you talking about?

I sold my house to stark

this morning.

That's where I was when you woke up.

I'm not gonna lose you again.

You're one of them now.

Yeah, well, I wish I would

have known that

before this morning.

We just need to find the last Atakapa.

Yeah, how are we gonna do that?

Computers.

We have access to all sorts

of information here,

birth certificates, dmv files,

census data.

Yeah, well, when we find the guy,

how are we gonna explain to him

that he has to die in order

to kill the wolf?

Just tell him that it's better

to burn out than fade away.

Yeah, that's what I'll do, chase.

We're leaving him here.

[Owl hooting]

[Guns clacking]

[Owl hooting]

[Hissing noise]

Ow! Oh, God.

Something bit me.

Ugh!

Water moccasin.

Med kit in the truck.

I'm on it.

Still feeling lucky?

Just keep an eye on the perimeter.

[Groaning]

Contact.

Where, damn it, where?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I lost him.

It was three o'clock.

Bravo Alpha, you have incoming.

I repeat, you have incoming.

Alpha bravo, say again?

[Growling and snarling]

[Gunfire]

Let's go.

Don't leave me, no!

Try "skunomoke."

[Computer beeping]

"Atakapa"?

[Keyboard clacking]

Is there a way to make

the search cover a wider area?
