What it took from you.

Im not going to stand here

and tell you that life's fair,

Cause it ain't.

To either of us.

But you know, what do we go?

This land is all we got left.

What is this we sh*t...?

Only thing native about you is your ex-wife

and a daughter you couldnt protect

Maybe if

youd played detective back then...

That's not something you get to talk about.

You hear me?

Over there.

You gonna lecture me about

protecting people?

While you deal the sh*t thats killing em?

Unlike most people...

... You had every chance to

get the hell out if thats what you wanted.

You got the Army. You got College.

Whatever is your choice.

Look what you choose.

Look what you chose.

God damn you.

I met him.

Ya?

Yeah, the motherf***er was

almost as old as you.

I wanted to fight

his ass.

Natalie wouldnt let me.

Guess love really is blind huh?

He works security on one of them drill site.

This boyfriend have a name?

Matt... Matt something...

- Who does?

- Sam knew. Why dont you ask him?

I think you'll be talking to Sam

long before I do.

You think this is who I wanted to be?

I get so mad..

I want to fight the whole world.

You got any idea what's that feel like.

I do.

I decided to fight the

feeling instead. Know why?

Because I fear that the world would win.

What did I tell you...

Did he say anything?

No. F*** it..

I don't. I don't wanna know.

Youre heading for the rigs

tomorrow ain't you? yeah.

- Natalies boyfriend worked there.

- What?

- No, you are not to tell me.

- The thing's solve when it will solve.

Cory.

I want you at the rig with us tomorrow.

We don't catch wolves

looking at where they might be.

Head for where they've been.

They've been right here.

Hey.

You okay?

Been better.

What do you want?

I don't know.

Brings all back, doesnt it.

Maybe.

You and Ben and this little FBI girl formed

your own posse to go solve it all, I hear.

- Just trying to help.

- You won't get the answers..

..you're looking for.

No matter what you find.

This is not about Emily.

Good bye, Cory.

Matt Rayburn.

Did you know him?

- That's the guy we found in the snow?

- Yes, fingerprints from the database.

He was a security contractor

for one of the drill stations.

Alright.

Is that it?

Am I fired now?

- Why don't you come inside? Warm up.

- Okay.

- You.. want something to drink?

- Sure.

You got the..

milk and coffee and well water.

- Water is good.

- Okay.

Right, um.. make yourself at home.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

That's my daughter Emily.

She passed three years ago.

I'm sorry.

You want to know how.. do you?

I do, but...

Let's do this.

I was working as an outfitter in Pinedale.

And there was a big snow,

so I found myself with a rare night off.

So I got a motel called the wife,

she can come up stay for the night.

I mean you got 2 kids and when you're

at the mountain for half of the years.

You don't get much time together.

So we had Emily look after Casey

who was 5 at that time.

She was 16.

I guess that word got out that

we are out of town.

So some school friends came over

and some more friends.

Then...

And then some people came

that weren't friends.

So a little gathering

turned into a quite the party I guess.

Then...

I don't know.

You know there is a lot I don't know.

We got that phone call the next morning.

From Natalie.

Said that Emily was missing.

She was worried, naturally,

they were best friends.

Yeah.. We tried to be

very careful with Emily.

Tried to plan for everything.

She was such a good girl.

But we let our guard down.

Yeah. Let me tell you.

Maybe you'll have kids one day.

You cannot blink.

Not once, not ever.

Then there was a guy moving sheep

over by the wind river.

He is the one who found her.

Some 20 miles from our house.

I don't know how she got there

or what happened.

Autopsy couldn't tell us much

cause the Coyotes got at her pretty good.

No, I'm sorry...

- Sorry.

- Could you point me...

towards your bathroom?

- Straight up there.

- Thanks.

A Meadow in My perfect world.

Emily wrote that.

It's what got her accepted into the

summer writing program in Colorado state.

Did she write it to you?

Doesn't matter who it's to.

Just matters who it's from.

Look I'm sorry about..

earlier tonight.

I'm just trying to do the right thing here.

I don't really know

what the Hanson boy told you but...

I don't wanna stumble onto something

like today if I can help it.

So you know, if he said something

that I should know...

... I would appreciate if you share it.

He only said.. he said,

Natalie's boyfriend was named Matt.

And you've already figured out

who that is, so...

You get a call for that information, huh?

I wanted to know why you're helping me.

Now I do. So..

Tomorrow...

Do you think we could not ride

the snowmobile 80 miles an hour?

Yeah, if you wanna end up in a ditch,

we could have jumped over..

Great.

Okay.

- Have a good night.

- All right.

- See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow.

Shaking more than she is.

That's cold enough to freeze

a gold digger's ass out here.

Yeah, below zero, I bet.

Yes, six below,

it's lot colder up here.

Hey, bud.

- Hey, how are you doing?

- What are you doing here?

These track lead from the

little feather' house to your body.

I'm gonna follow them.

See where they go?

Yeah, well, Jane's the only one with

jurisdiction out there.

Just wanted a few extra badges along.

- You wanna walk 'em through this?

- Oh sure yeah.

The drill station has

cameras along its perimeter.

We're hoping one of the cameras

caught something.

And we'll also canvas

Matt Rayburn's trailer.

See if there is anything

that links him to the assault.

- You have a warrant?

- I'm going to ask real nice.

Can't get that from

little feather house?

Now that's a real tough slade

right through two canyons.

And I ain't looking to dig you out so...

I won't recommend it.

We'll take the refinery road around.

See you gotta drive 50 miles to go 5.

Welcome to Wyoming.

Then you people can get to my mothers.

It's spring.

If you find anything,

you call me on the radio.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

Can I help you?

- Yeah does Matt Rayburn work here?

- Yeah. You know where he is?

I was about to ask you the same thing.

No. he got in a fight with his girlfriend

a couple of days ago.

She took off, he took her back.

Then we have not seen 'em since.

- When was that?

- Three days ago.

Heck, we didn't know what to do.

We've been waiting

on the corp. ever since...

tell us whether or not fill his

termination papers, or call you guys.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah yeah, they are here for Matt.

You find him? Is he okay?

- What happened to you two?

- What's that?

You look little torn up.

He hit one of the pine branch doing 60.

see what happens to you.

We run the property line twice daily.

Comes with the territory.

You should try using a face shield.

I requested helmets.. our supervisor said,

"Snow's soft, ain't it?"
