Mr. Hanson

I'm trying to help.

Why is it whenever you people try

to help, it starts with insults.

I don't know why she didn't tell me.

But she was eighteen.

And I chose to trust her..

I chose wrong.

Ok. Well.. um how about your wife,

did your daughter talk to her?

- Do you talk to your mother?

- Her name is Annie? Is she here?

- She's in the bedroom..

- I'd like to speak to her.

Be my guest.

Thank you.

Bedroom's just this way?

- Jane.

- yeah?

You don't mind, right?

Hey, you don't need my permission.

You're an adult.

Barely..

I'm really sorry.

Hey.

I'd like to tell you it gets

easier...

... doesn't.

If there's

any comfort...

...it's getting used to the pain I suppose.

I went to a grief seminar in Casper.

You know that?

Don't know why...

I just wanted the bad to go away.

Wanted answers

to questions that couldn't be answered.

The counselor came up to me

after the seminar.. sat down next to me.

He said something that stuck with me.

I don't know of it's what he said.

Or it's how he said...

He says, "I got some good news

and I got some bad news."

The bad news is

you're never gonna be the same.

"You'll never be whole. Not ever again."

You lost your daughter.

Nothing's ever going to replace that.

"The good news is

as soon as you accept that...

... and you let yourself suffer. "

"You'll allow yourself

to visit her in your mind."

"You remember all the love that she gave."

"All the joy she knew."

The point is, Martin

you can't steer from the pain.

If you do

you'll rob yourself.

You'll rob yourself of every memory of her.

Every last one.

From the first step...

to her last smile.

You kill 'em all.

Just take the pain, Martin.

Do you hear me? You take it.

It's the only way to keep her with you.

I'm just tired, Cory.

I'm just.. so tired

of fighting this life.

What you do now you is for your boy.

Drugs is his family now.

He's gone too.

Lives right down the damn

road, but it's...

He's gone.

I expect they'll find he's involved

in this somehow.

He is staying with the Little feather

boys, that it?

Yeah.

You're driving this Fed around

so she don't get lost, is that it?

They asked me to do,

Not what I'm doing.

What are you doing?

I'm a hunter.. Martin.

What do you think I'm doing?

If you find out who did this...

I don't care who it is.

You understand me?

Right where they stand.

Then get off my porch

and go do it.

Natalie's brother lives here with

Sam and Bart Little feather.

And a real piece of work named Frank Walker.

Hanson's kid is bad... but

the others are stone evil.

So.. watch yourself.

Shouldn't we just..

maybe wait for some backup?

Well, this ain't the land of back-up, Jane.

This is the land of you're on your own.

Listen to this sh*t.

Ya?

We are looking for Chip Hanson. He around?

- Not here, brah..

- Who are you?

Who the f*** are you?

I'm the FBI, d*ckhead.

Are you Sam?

No.

You high right now Sam?

How many times have I arrested you?

- Chief, wazzup Brah?

- Where's your brother?

- He's in prison. Where you put him..

- What no parole?

Look at that,

the justice system at work.

Reminds me, my PO told me to give you some..

- Wait, I got it, I got it right here.

- Wait.. Let me see your hands!

Cory watch the back!

F***!

F***!

Heros have always killed cowboys.

The other two's outside with Cory.

Let's go.

Let's go.

He's still alive.

We need to call EMS.

EMS is an hour away.

- Just leave him.

- He's not dead, Ben.

Like I said.

Let's go.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Skinny one's Natalie's brother..

- Who's the other one?

That is Frank Walker.

Won't your daddy be proud?

- My dad's in prison, a**hole..

- I know, I put him there.

Tell me what happened to your sister, Chip.

What?

- Don't play dumb.

- About what? What happened to her?

What that cracker do?

What crackers?

Was she seeing a white guy?

Do you know him?

- Do you know who he is?

- Do you know his name, Chip?

You said was.

Why did you say

was?

Why would she say was?

She just said was.

Because I found her raped and

killed right over there, son.

That's why.

No...

What?

No!

You go. I'm going to get

Chip over to Lander.

See if he give me the

name of this boyfriend.

I tell you..this is how we find him?

No. We go to where he works or

where he lives.

Yeah.. where does he work

where does he live.

You think this a**hole's

gonna tell you anything? I don't.

Look, I know you're looking for clues,

but you're missing all the signs.

Come here, let me show you.

See this here?

This is snow track.. right?

- Okay.

- Is he out here on the ridge?

Here... use these.

Okay.

- You see at the end of the ridge here?

- Where?

- Follow my hand. Can you see my hand?

- Hand's all I can see.

When I take it away.. now look.

- You see that? You see the shadow there?

- I think so.

Snow's starting to cover.

Look up at the base of the mountain.

There you see. Go up the ridge there.

You'll see it a lot of easy there.

You see the tracks go up..

that mountain there?

- Yes, I see it.

- Alright.

Now his body was found just past there.

But someone unloaded the sledge right here,

to go all the way out there.

There is no tracks coming back. Why's that?

I'm telling you.

The answer is out there.

Hey look... um..

I don't know how to do this. Okay?

I'm not a tracker.

That's okay, it's all I do.

- You asked to help you, right?

- Yeah.

We should go while I still can.

Okay.

Why are we stopping?

About the storm now...

The trees are too thick to drive.

Gotta walk from here.

Come on.

- Put this on.

- Okay.

Clap them up real tight ok?

Now what?

We walk.

Follow these sledge tracks heading south.

- you ready?

- Yeah.

Follow me.

Oh my god.

We went on foot the last half mile of it.

but we blazed a pretty good trail

on the snow.. so,

I could take the boys back up

there if you want.

III talk to the BIA Supervisor,

he just might want you to do that.

The security team over at the rig

got the cameras around their perimeter.

Im gonna head up there in

the morning,

we might get lucky to find

something on the tape.

The two we have in custody

say anything?

They ain't the talking kind,

Jane.

These kids... they expect to

go to prison.

Hell, I think they look

forward to it. You know?

Three hoots, and a cot,

and free cable?

Anything better being here...

the way they see it.

Lets r their DNA against the

semen, see what that tells us.

- Can I talk to him?

- No.

Cory, anything they might tell you

would be inadmissible in court,

and anything you tell us would render

everything that resulted

inadmissible as well.

What if don't tell you.

If I just knew it.

Yeah, agent Banner.

Ben.

Ive known this kid since he could walk.

I gotta canvas the house.

The back doors are only locked

from the inside...

Look at you.

Look at you.

I didnt do sh*t.

All you been doing is sh*t for

the last few years.

... Its this place. Look what it

takes from us.
