that needs to be done,

but I can guarantee this.

We're gonna follow the

lead wherever it takes us.

- That it?

- Yeah, that's it.

- Hey, look.

The news lady's

talking to Rickey.

- Hi, Mr. Haggard.

- Howdy.

You can just call me Rickey Hag.

- And have you contacted

the local authorities

about what you think is going on

at your brother-in-law's ranch?

- Uh, that's my sister's ranch,

but him and my niece, Hannah,

still livin' there now, though.

I know exactly what's

goin' on, but I don't think

the authorities are willin'

to open their minds enough

to consider the truth.

- And would you like to

give your opinion now?

- Well...

As a matter of fact,

yes I would.

- Dadgummit.

- So, what we're

dealin' with right now...

- Rickey, get over here.

What is the matter with you?

It's okay for you to have

your own conspiracy theories,

but don't go around

projectin' your crazy disease

on everybody else.

- Hey man, I don't know

what it is about my theories

that makes you so dagnab angry.

Tom, this is Miss Rebecca Otis.

- Yeah, we've met.

Look, I was just discussing

with Rickey the origins

of the Rh negative strand and

the purity

of the O blood type.

It's not like--

- Mayfield,

what's happening here?

- Tom, me and Miss Otis,

we gotta talk to you.

- We're all stocked up on aloe

vera, thank you very much.

- Look, my research has

validity.

Tom, you and your daughter

should take precautions.

- Does that mean your

daughter's in danger?

- Cynthia, turn that camera off.

- Tom. Tom!

Man, I know you think I'm all

crazy talk

but it's like Lily said.

Often times the crazy ones

are right.

- I am under investigation for

all this

and the last thing I wanna do

is draw attention to me

and my family

and unfortunately

that includes you.

Hannah!

Hannah!

- Dad!

Dad!

Something's out there!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down.

Now, put this on and

hold it tight, all right?

- Okay.

- I told you not to go out

there.

- I need an injection.

- What happened?

Hannah.

Hannah!

- I had to go to crime

scene for my article!

- What?

- Dad.

- I told you not to write

about this!

- That's not the point!

- What do I have to do to

get you to listen to me?

- If I listened to you

we'd never do anything.

- I just asked you to go to town

with me.

- Riding into town with you in

the car?

That doesn't count as us doing

something!

- You know what?

You could've gone with your

mother wherever she is.

Don't let me hold you back!

- I'm sorry that I stuck

around to help you out!

- Big help you are!

Big help you are.

- You know you're nothing

but a lonely

middle-aged redneck and you

can't just cut yourself off

from the entire world to get

over Mom.

Dad.

Dad.

- What?

- Something attacked me.

This thing was huge.

- Yeah, I've hunted

big animals before.

- I wish you would quit law

enforcement like I asked ya.

And then you'd be out here

when stuff like this happens.

Who's gonna protect me if

something happens to you, huh?

- Protect you from what?

- Put the camera away.

- I rushed here

as quick as I could.

Ya all right?

Well, you're prettier

than a glob of butter

meltin' on a stack of wheat

cakes.

- She's fine, she's

just lettin' herself

get all freaked out

about nothin'.

- No, I told you there

were noises in the woods.

And whatever is out there,

it was throwin' stones

at the house.

- And I went huntin' for

it and I didn't see a thing.

- But, guys, I brought these.

You gotta take a look at these.

All right, now what you're

describing is common,

but these creatures, they

tend to be very territorial

so maybe they're threatened

by y'all bein' here.

- Come on,

Rickey.

I'm gonna play this back

for you two

so you can see how silly

you are.

- Tom, for the

sake of your wife and child,

you gotta take this seriously,

man.

- Tom, please.

Babe, I'm actually scared, okay?

You don't know what it's like

out here by myself all day.

And now this?

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

- Everyone's fine.

- Woof.

Holy cow, partner.

- Yeah, it had to have been

really big to have done this.

- I reckon so.

So, what are we doin'?

- We gotta find this thing.

- One second.

This is Deputy LeMoine.

Oh hi, Detective, how ya doin'?

Oh, Detective, can ya hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

I'm losin' ya.

Y'all got a better signal

at the house?

Yes, sir.

I'm headin' in now.

Yes, sir.

Bye.

I'm sorry, I know I came

all the way out here,

but Pitney's got something big

for me,

so I gotta get back.

- Brian.

This thing attacked Hannah.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

- Brian, you gotta send

me some guys or somethin'.

- Look, we can't just

go help every citizen

with their wild animal problem.

- What?

- Dad, forget it.

- I'm sorry.

All right, look.

I'll come back and check

in on you guys, okay?

Hey, Tom?

Have you visited Idaho, Montana,

or Oregon

any time in the last 20 years?

- No.

- We've identified the three

women

and now that we're

coordinating with officers

in their jurisdiction,

it'll be announced soon.

Made copies for ya.

Thought you might have

some input.

Anyway, it's a good thing you

haven't been in those places.

- It now seems that local

authorities

have been able to

identify the three victims

that were found dead just a few

days ago.

Kelly Belgrave went missing

in 1993 in Salmon, Idaho.

Christina Killeen

has not been seen

since October of 1994

in Chiloquin, Oregon.

Elizabeth Hopkins was

last seen in her hometown

of Sydney, Montana on

April 20, 2003.

- Hm, our

hearts certainly go out

to the families

of these victims.

We hope they are able to find

some peace

during this difficult time.

- What's all this?

- They're Mom's.

- Hannah, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry The Champion

rejected your article.

- It's fine.

Guess writing's just not

in my blood.

- What's your blood type?

- It's O negative

just like Mom's.

- We're goin'.

- Because it wants my blood?

- I don't know.

- Hey there, Tom.

- Now is not the time,

Detective.

- Where ya headin'?

- We're goin' to Louisiana

to see my family.

- Hm.

Lead suspect in a

murder investigation

heading outta town?

That don't look too good.

- Are you gonna stop us?

- No, I just have somethin'

you might wanna hear.

I thought maybe we could go

back up to the house and talk.

- Nope,

right here's just fine.

- All right.

I guess you've heard of the

matching cases

that have emerged.

More have been discovered, Tom,

and just like ours, the women,

they've been reported missing

in a different state to

where they've been found.

I got a call out of Greenview,

California,

the authorities this morning.

They said they found

three bodies, cut, gutted,

out by Klamath National Forest.

And one of those bodies have

ties right here to Thorndale,

reported missing two years

ago by Rickey Haggard.

That woman seems to be your

wife, Lillian.

I'm sorry to give you that news,

Tom.

I'd stick around here
