00:00:00I've always loved forests.
00:00:30Often wondering what could be under those dense canopies, actual physical truths associated
00:00:36with legends, or maybe even things where stories haven't even been told yet.
00:00:41Anyway, I decided to live amongst the green, as it were, and see what I could discover.
00:00:50It was probably one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.
00:00:56It was probably one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made in my life.
00:01:03I've always loved forests.
00:01:05I've always loved forests.
00:01:07I've always loved forests.
00:01:09I've always loved forests.
00:01:11I've always loved forests.
00:01:15I've always loved forests.
00:01:28I've always loved forests.
00:01:30coded to the police and her message.
00:01:34It is not what I did.
00:01:37That was a good part of the police.
00:01:40Why?
00:01:41They were open to the police.
00:01:43They don't want to send their mail to the police.
00:01:46They don't need to send their mail to their police.
00:01:49They're not sure for the police to send their police.
00:01:54That's why they're not here.
00:01:59So is this your first kid?
00:02:06Yeah, it's gonna be our first.
00:02:08I always thought we'd start our family in a more suburban environment, but Jason here
00:02:13has convinced me to move to the mountains, so here we are.
00:02:16Well, this area's a great place to raise him.
00:02:18How long have you lived there for Stephanie?
00:02:20Uh, pretty much my whole life.
00:02:22Yeah, I moved to the Bay Area for a little while in the 90s, and then back up here probably
00:02:27for good.
00:02:28Well, city life wasn't for you?
00:02:30Well, don't get me wrong, I like people to start in doses, and I find the right dosage
00:02:35up here.
00:02:36Yeah, we're ready to start weaning ourselves.
00:02:38Oh, this is a great place to wean.
00:02:41So, Katherine, Jason is telling me you're a biologist?
00:02:45Mm-hmm.
00:02:46Like, what kind of biology?
00:02:48Are you working in the field or in a lab?
00:02:50I studied botany, and then I worked in hydroponics for a long time, but now I'm mostly in scientific
00:02:57publications.
00:02:58I do a lot of peer reviewing.
00:02:59Like, less of my own research, but I love it.
00:03:02And Jason, you're a videographer, yeah?
00:03:04Oh, surely you jest.
00:03:06I make documentaries, yeah, you know, mostly nature-oriented, sell them on Amazon, my own
00:03:13website, squatchfilms.com.
00:03:15Bigfoot stuff.
00:03:16Yeah.
00:03:17Yes.
00:03:18Thank you for the laugh, immediately thereafter.
00:03:20She's a little...
00:03:21No.
00:03:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:23I really didn't mean it that way.
00:03:25This valley is full of people, you know.
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:28Nut jobs.
00:03:29Is that what you're saying?
00:03:30Great.
00:03:31I love it.
00:03:32My dad got me books when I was little.
00:03:33I think there's genuinely something to the phenomenon, along with all the craziness.
00:03:36And I met a lot of really cool people who take it seriously.
00:03:39Look, I promise you, he's not crazy.
00:03:42He's just very, very...
00:03:45Smart?
00:03:46Passionate.
00:03:47Yes.
00:03:48I mean, look at this, though.
00:03:50Can you believe this?
00:03:51This is absolutely beautiful.
00:03:52All of this would be yours.
00:03:54This is part of the property.
00:03:55Extremely squatchy.
00:03:57Very squatchy.
00:03:58I'll agree, it's squatchy.
00:04:09Oh, my God, I love this wood.
00:04:12This is great.
00:04:13Right.
00:04:14Catherine, this stove, it was, I think it's from the early 40s.
00:04:18And is the furniture included, or...?
00:04:20Oh, yes, it is.
00:04:21Yeah, Betty's willing to do that.
00:04:23And you know that she's 92 now, so she wants to stay around in the area, but it's just getting
00:04:30too hard for her to make it up those stairs.
00:04:33Oh, she told me it was okay to give you any information, like, about her background.
00:04:38That you may want to know.
00:04:39Good, because I was going to report you.
00:04:41Yeah, let's go outside.
00:04:42Let's take a look.
00:04:43Okay, so...
00:04:46Oh, yeah, this is...
00:04:48This doesn't suck, honey.
00:04:51Whoa!
00:04:52Is this something?
00:04:54Yeah, it is something.
00:04:57Wow.
00:04:58This is a good selling point angle right here.
00:05:01Yeah, I thought this would be the grand finale for you.
00:05:04Did you, uh, or have you, rather, heard stories over the years?
00:05:08About Bigfoot?
00:05:09Of course.
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:11Yeah, when I was growing up around here, some folks thought that, um, just kind of beyond
00:05:17there, beyond the ridgeline.
00:05:18Right.
00:05:19Well, seasonally, mind you.
00:05:20Right, of course.
00:05:21But, yeah, a small group of them would just hang around for a while before moving on.
00:05:25What was your reaction to that when you were little?
00:05:27Ha!
00:05:28I thought it was cool.
00:05:29What do you think about it now?
00:05:31I still think it's cool.
00:05:33Right, of course you do!
00:05:34Who doesn't?
00:05:35Yeah, well...
00:05:36It's a pair, well...
00:05:37It's a pair, well...
00:06:06So...
00:06:07You think if we get it on and I make those noises you like, it'll attract in Bigfoot?
00:06:16Um...
00:06:17I think it's worth a try.
00:06:19Ooh!
00:06:20Ooh!
00:06:21Ooh!
00:06:22You sure that's what he sounds like?
00:06:24Isn't it more like...
00:06:25Ooh!
00:06:26No, that's not.
00:06:27That's not.
00:06:28I have always thought it was pure bull.
00:06:31I mean, don't you think they would've found a body by now?
00:06:33Well, you know, it was like hundreds of years of stories about mountain gorillas before some jackass shot one.
00:06:39And then, uh, the wild men of Borneo turned out to be, uh, orangutans.
00:06:44Come on!
00:06:45Those are incredibly wild parts of the world.
00:06:48You know, these parts of the Pacific Northwest literally have thousands and thousands of hills that are densely vegetated,
00:06:53and they're too steep for our measly humans like ourselves to go up.
00:06:57Okay, but wouldn't satellites have picked up on them?
00:06:59They probably live under canopy.
00:07:01Satellites don't see through canopy.
00:07:03What about remains?
00:07:05Neanderthals buried their dead.
00:07:07Mountain gorillas have been seen covering their dead.
00:07:10You thought way too much about this, Jason.
00:07:12You haven't thought about it enough.
00:07:14You might be right.
00:07:15You're probably right.
00:07:16Thanks, Lena.
00:07:21I have every single one of these books.
00:07:29and Rosa has read recently to Ven Voice over,
00:07:30yeah then.
00:07:32We're alive, it's like the one room outside,
00:07:34about being home tired of the water prepping.
00:07:35It's too 888, and there's likely no note about it.
00:07:38So, if you have every single one,
00:07:39So, you've got an extra Abebe right,
00:07:40and you're going go out to the Chestnut tab.
00:07:41You don't know.
00:07:42Yeah, you're exactly right.
00:07:43If you haven't decided somewhere,
00:07:44this idea had to be one of them,
00:07:45when we know our first house.
00:07:46We're actually Isabel Spalet people.
00:07:49And tests it completely.
00:07:50I make all of them.
00:07:51Especially if you've got a Lord,
00:07:53maybe if you've got one oft,
00:07:54you can support a friend of the memory.
00:08:26I found a few rat turds on the porch this morning.
00:08:40Oh, that's nice.
00:08:42I'm finding you knew rat turds were part of the deal.
00:08:45Come on.
00:08:46Betty said, you used to live here for 44 years, that she only found two vermin the entire time.
00:08:51Yeah, and one was a rat first thought to be a joala.
00:08:56And on the probability scale, now that we've been here a couple of weeks, where are you on the belief?
00:09:0430%.
00:09:05That's moved up.
00:09:06Okay, it's gone up two points.
00:09:08That's still on the improbable part of the scale.
00:09:10But progress has been made.
00:09:12When was the major sighting again?
00:09:14October 12, 1992.
00:09:16About 3.8 miles from here.
00:09:18Maybe that's like 30 years ago.
00:09:22Yeah, but you know, there's also a lot of other stories, Native American lore, and a really cool, kind of weird story.
00:09:29I heard that happened about six months ago, really close to here.
00:09:32You can see the headlines now.
00:09:34Bar me, booze, home, bags, Bigfoot.
00:09:37No, Stephanie, the realtor, says she knows these guys.
00:09:40Some kind of forest worker, and pretty cool.
00:09:44Well, you should go talk to him.
00:09:45I mean, that's half the reason we moved here.
00:09:47Yeah, and what do you think I'm doing tomorrow?
00:09:49Going to see the forest ranger?
00:09:51Bingo.
00:09:52Bingo.
00:09:52Bingo.
00:09:53Hey, uh, Jason?
00:10:07Yeah, Jeff.
00:10:09Have any trouble finding the place?
00:10:11No, man.
00:10:13Your drop pin worked great.
00:10:18So, uh, this is where it happened, huh?
00:10:20Yeah, five months ago at the, uh, the end of the month.
00:10:23Hey, uh, before we get into what happened here, um, like I said on the phone, right,
00:10:28it's strictly off the record.
00:10:29This stuff said you're not, like, making a book or a movie or anything, but...
00:10:32Right, I'm not writing a book, and I'm not making a movie.
00:10:35Okay, so for starters, man, I, uh, look, I'm pretty damn sure I wouldn't be a hoax.
00:10:40Why do you say that?
00:10:43First off, it stood for a couple seconds right underneath that tree right there.
00:10:47I, uh, I came back here the next day, and I measured the spot on the tree where the top of its head was.
00:10:52It couldn't have been off more than a couple of, a couple of inches.
00:10:55The thing was at least seven feet off the ground.
00:10:57Hmm.
00:10:57And then, um, I saw it take a couple of strides from, from there down to, to there,
00:11:02and then down the embankment, and, uh...
00:11:04Right.
00:11:05It could have been more than four seconds.
00:11:07How far away were you when you first saw it?
00:11:09I, I, I stopped about, uh, 30 yards short, right about, uh, here.
00:11:16Yeah.
00:11:16About home plate to first base?
00:11:18Yep.
00:11:19Did you get out of the car?
00:11:22Look, Jason, I don't consider myself much of a chicken shit, but I'm telling you right now that the thickness of that thing and that, that, the height of it,
00:11:29I mean, even if it had the temperament of what?
00:11:32It's that, uh, that, uh, 80s Bigfoot thing.
00:11:35Uh, Harry.
00:11:36Harry.
00:11:36Harry and the Hendersons.
00:11:37No.
00:11:37No, man.
00:11:38And not saying that it, that it looked like it had, like, a negative vibe.
00:11:42It didn't seem like it was trying to hurt me or anything.
00:11:44It was just, it was just so freaking big.
00:11:47Any, uh, any smells?
00:11:49Besides my shorts?
00:11:51No, sorry.
00:11:52That's understandable.
00:11:54I mean, if that was a guy in a suit, he would have to practice for a long, long time to be that smooth.
00:11:59So, how are things with this forest worker?
00:12:13Do you see him trustworthy?
00:12:15Yeah, he was, like, pretty legit, you know?
00:12:17Like, uh, I definitely talked to him about Bigfoot stuff again.
00:12:20Seems, seems into it.
00:12:24How's the book?
00:12:25Ugh, I mean, it's...
00:12:27Whoa, whoa.
00:12:29What the hell was that?
00:12:32Might be a coyote.
00:12:34That doesn't sound like any coyote I've ever heard.
00:12:37You know, with the echo off the hills here, they can kind of sound like that, uh...
00:12:41I can't believe I'm going to say this, but it sounds like one of those Bigfoot sounds you played me.
00:12:59Oh, I know.
00:13:01I can't believe I was going to say this, but it sounds like two-year-old.
00:13:02I can't believe I'm going to say this, but it sounds like one of those Bigfoot sounds, but...
00:13:05I can't believe I'm going to say this, but it sounds like two-year-old.
00:13:06Hey hon, honey, honey look, at least it was one of the older models.
00:13:34It's probably just some kid or crackpot messing with you.
00:13:36I mean, you haven't exactly kept it a secret, you're into Bigfoot.
00:13:38No, you and I are the only two who know who put the cameras up there.
00:13:41No cakewalk getting up there, did you tell somebody?
00:13:43Of course not, it's probably just some pot grower.
00:13:46That hill looks like a good place to grow weed.
00:13:48What hill isn't a good place to grow weed around here?
00:13:51Look, Sasquatch wouldn't even know what a camera is.
00:13:53It didn't have to recognize it as a camera, it just could have seen this unusual thing on the side of a tree and then gave it a good thwack.
00:13:58Okay, but then last week when you said it was moved, I mean why didn't an image of the mysterious primate show up then?
00:14:04It could have been something else, squirrel, raccoon, chupacabra.
00:14:08When does Brian do?
00:14:10Oh man, really soon.
00:14:12Right.
00:14:13You are so excited.
00:14:15Yes, I am. Let me know if you need me.
00:14:18Okay.
00:14:21My God.
00:14:33Dude, long time no smelly.
00:14:36Man.
00:14:37Oh man.
00:14:38Don't worry bud.
00:14:39I knew when I got lost three times trying to find this place it was going to be awesome.
00:14:42Yeah, very squatchy.
00:14:44What did you bring?
00:14:45Look at you.
00:14:46What, what are you talking about?
00:14:47Oh, look at that.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:49Look, what is that?
00:14:50Voila!
00:14:51Dude, dude.
00:14:52What?
00:14:53Where'd you get them?
00:14:54Having a PhD in primatology has its perks, me boy.
00:14:57I told Dr. Schlesinger about your research.
00:15:00Yeah.
00:15:01And he threw in some pheromone samples.
00:15:02And not just orangutan bro, he threw in lowland gorilla for good measure.
00:15:06How's his tracker gun going?
00:15:08Well, he wants to meet you.
00:15:09No.
00:15:10I set up a powwow for a few days.
00:15:12Oh my god, who is this lovely apparition, sexy preggers.
00:15:17I'm so proud of you guys.
00:15:19What's this?
00:15:20Oh, that's just...
00:15:21Stroke paraphernalia?
00:15:22That's something from the college.
00:15:23No.
00:15:24Boys planning a wild night?
00:15:25It's just a, it's a research project.
00:15:27Nothing.
00:15:28Why don't we take those inside, have some...
00:15:30A whiskey?
00:15:31Uh, four would be good.
00:15:32Four whiskey.
00:15:33Yes.
00:15:36Were you able to find any witnesses from what happened here back in the day?
00:15:40Uh, no.
00:15:41Like, most of them passed on or, uh, they moved out of the area.
00:15:45So, uh, give me one more of those.
00:15:48Wow.
00:16:01So, you guys didn't actually see anything?
00:16:22No.
00:16:23Nope.
00:16:24Okay, I didn't have to see anything to know that what I heard didn't come from a human.
00:16:28We're in the middle of bear and cougar territory.
00:16:30Yeah, I wasn't a cougar.
00:16:32And I've never heard a bear make that noise.
00:16:34You guys need a beer?
00:16:36Yeah.
00:16:37A few.
00:16:38You still at 33%, honey?
00:16:41I mean, Brian seems pretty sure himself, so maybe a few more points.
00:16:4537%.
00:16:4737?
00:16:51I know you don't want to shoot one of these things to prove they exist, but...
00:16:56I mean, you gotta be thinking a Magnum and hollow points, a .30-06, a shotgun with the biggest stopping rounds you can find.
00:17:03That thing was huge.
00:17:05Dude.
00:17:06So few reports that have any credibility that they harm humans.
00:17:11It only takes one.
00:17:12Do you want it to be you?
00:17:14Look, after what we heard today, you can actually sit here and have a conversation about going back up on that hill without a firearm.
00:17:22I'm worried about you or I freaking out, wounding one, and it freaks out and then gets its family after us.
00:17:30Wow.
00:17:31What's next, gentlemen?
00:17:33We're getting about an 80% penetration rate into simulated flesh.
00:17:38When it does fully go in, all indications are that the tracker will hold.
00:17:41Tiny titanium barbs along with a slight numbing agent help reduce the chances of it being dug out, at least initially.
00:17:47Now, here's a really cool thing.
00:17:48The prototype we have available now theoretically lasts as long as the animal lives.
00:17:52It's powered off the internal heat of its host.
00:17:54Oh my god, that's awesome.
00:17:55That way you don't have to zoo one, you don't have to put one on a slab.
00:17:58You can videotape it over time, DNA samples.
00:18:01You seem fairly excited about this for someone who claims to be skeptical of Bigfoot existing.
00:18:07Compared to ten years ago, I admit.
00:18:09A nudge upward given the detailed analysis of the Patterson films.
00:18:12Wow, I can't believe you give a lot of credence to the Patterson films.
00:18:16The guy was a known hoaxer.
00:18:18His favorite story, before getting a picture of a female Bigfoot, was of a guy who said he saw a female Bigfoot.
00:18:26Human-like breasts.
00:18:28Awesome, this device wasn't created exclusively to prove cryptos exist.
00:18:32Okay, look, Brian and I are fairly sane, fairly scientifically trained.
00:18:38You've known him a long time.
00:18:39Granted, you just met me, but what do you think about letting us have a shot at it?
00:18:44You really think there's one out there, huh?
00:18:46Strong probability.
00:18:48Check back with me in a few days.
00:18:50Let me think about it.
00:18:51You're awesome.
00:18:52Thank you, Doug.
00:18:56So, how the hell can this guy just give you guys the use of an untested invasive tracking system?
00:19:21It seems unethical.
00:19:22Well, it is.
00:19:24It doesn't use tranquilization.
00:19:26It's not illegal.
00:19:27Danny hasn't said yes yet.
00:19:30Okay, and how do you plan on getting close enough to dart one since you haven't seen one?
00:19:35Who says we necessarily have to be there?
00:19:38All right, we think what we can do is take the tracker gun, put it on top of the camera, set it so that if 30% of the screen gets filled and it's 10 to 15 feet away.
00:19:48Remote trigger.
00:19:49Five feet high, it'll trigger and a nosy raccoon doesn't get nailed.
00:19:54That's right.
00:19:55And what about a nosy human?
00:19:57Unless you know someone that's, say, in the 350-pound category that can make it up that hill without having a heart attack, I think we're good.
00:20:06So, this not-so-legal invasive tracking system is somehow going to penetrate all the supposed hair on these supposed things?
00:20:18I mean, it's no guarantee it's going to work.
00:20:20I mean, there are reports of patchiness of hair, too.
00:20:23Maybe we get lucky and it hits a place where there is no hair.
00:20:26So, we think we can program it to delay a second and a half, two seconds?
00:20:30The flash.
00:20:31So that it turns, right, instead of-because it's easier for it to pick it out of the front.
00:20:35The side or the back, probably harder.
00:20:38Can't use its arms to get it out of the front.
00:20:40This is delicious.
00:20:41It's plausible.
00:20:42I get it, guys, yeah.
00:20:48Oh my god, get out!
00:21:12Hey, hun, any drumsticks left?
00:21:14Uh, I think in the freezer?
00:21:16Yeah.
00:21:18Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:21:22Hey, Brian, get in here.
00:21:24This is, uh, could be interesting here, hun.
00:21:27What's up?
00:21:28What's up?
00:21:29Yeah, yeah.
00:21:30We got an accident.
00:21:31It's fully operational, man.
00:21:32Hold it.
00:21:33I'm tracking.
00:21:34I'm tracking live.
00:21:35Okay.
00:21:36Look right there.
00:21:37Guys, don't you think you should wait just a little bit till whenever your hit gets a little
00:21:41less pissed off?
00:21:42If it bleeds at all when it's hit, the vegetation in the zone where it's hit could have blood splatter
00:21:47on it.
00:21:48And every minute that we wait, that DNA is getting degraded.
00:21:50Okay, but you're gonna take the rifles, right?
00:21:51Yeah, yeah.
00:21:52We'll grab another one on the way out as well.
00:21:53Yeah.
00:21:54And I got ethanol and I got a tube for samples.
00:21:57All right.
00:22:00All right.
00:22:01See ya.
00:22:02Your phone.
00:22:03Oh, we got it.
00:22:04Yeah.
00:22:05Thanks, love it.
00:22:06Do you have a machete on it?
00:22:08Is it moving?
00:22:17Uh, no.
00:22:18No.
00:22:19Wait.
00:22:20It's moving.
00:22:21Okay.
00:22:22Where?
00:22:23What direction?
00:22:24Well, you'll be happy to know in our direction.
00:22:26Uh, it's about 500 yards, but the camera's like only 100 yards up there, so let's, uh,
00:22:31we can do it.
00:22:32Hopefully.
00:22:33Copy.
00:22:34The camera's like 100 yards up there and they're seeing us.
00:22:37That's right.
00:22:38No?
00:22:39No.
00:22:40No.
00:22:41Stop watching.
00:22:42No.
00:22:43Stop watching.
00:22:44No.
00:22:45Why is this?
00:22:46No?
00:22:47No, no.
00:22:48Yeah.
00:22:49Why is that in that?
00:22:50No, no.
00:22:51No, no.
00:22:52No.
00:22:53I don't know.
00:22:54Why is that in that?
00:22:55Why's that in that?
00:22:56Oh, shit.
00:22:57We lost the signal.
00:22:58I don't know.
00:22:59Wait, there's a movie.
00:23:00Yeah.
00:23:01Wait, there is.
00:23:02It's, uh, all on.
00:23:03Hold on, it's about 100 feet away.
00:23:05Alright, two possible droplets.
00:23:07I got it.
00:23:0950 feet.
00:23:11That's moving.
00:23:13Fuck.
00:23:17Hold on.
00:23:19Shit.
00:23:21Fuck.
00:23:29Fuck.
00:23:33Fuck.
00:23:41Jesus Christ.
00:24:03Stay in the porch, stay in the porch, stay in the porch.
00:24:13What happened?
00:24:15Okay, sit down.
00:24:17What happened?
00:24:19Okay.
00:24:21Brian's dead.
00:24:23Huge rock came flying out of the brush.
00:24:25God, are you sure he's dead?
00:24:27Half his head has caved in.
00:24:29God, Jason, we gotta call the cops.
00:24:31Stop, stop just a second.
00:24:33Uh, who's gonna believe that something was thrown at him, okay?
00:24:35Who's gonna believe that possibly a Sasquatch killed him?
00:24:37Jason, we can't not call the cops.
00:24:39Just let me think, let me think.
00:24:41What about the ranger guy, why don't you call him?
00:24:43He believes these things.
00:24:45Yeah, good idea.
00:24:47Good, good, okay.
00:24:49Yeah, Jeff, how you doing?
00:24:51This is Jason, you met the other day.
00:24:53Right, how you been?
00:24:55Uh, not so good.
00:24:56Listen, something very serious just happened.
00:24:58Uh, really need you to come over and talk about it, if you don't mind.
00:25:02Appreciate it, I'll do that.
00:25:04I'll do that.
00:25:07Oh, man, let me think.
00:25:08Hold on a second.
00:25:09Yeah, let me think.
00:25:10Let me think.
00:25:11What about the ranger guy, why don't you call him?
00:25:13He believes these things.
00:25:14Yeah, yeah, good idea.
00:25:15Good, good, okay.
00:25:17Yeah, Jeff, how you doing?
00:25:18This is Jason, you met the other day.
00:25:20Right.
00:25:21How you been?
00:25:22Not so good.
00:25:23Listen, something very serious just happened.
00:25:24I've got to go back up the hill with him when he gets here.
00:25:31What? Why?
00:25:32Brian had gotten a couple of possible blood samples.
00:25:35If it proves to show Sasquatch,
00:25:37it at least shows that something else was up there besides me.
00:25:40I mean, who's going to believe that a Sasquatch threw a friggin' rock that killed my friend?
00:25:54The signal's still a half a mile away from where Brian died.
00:25:58Are you sure you're okay with going up the hill?
00:26:01I wouldn't say okay, but...
00:26:04Where's the handgun of yours?
00:26:06There you go. You've used one of these?
00:26:08Yeah. Right?
00:26:09Okay, his shotgun should be up there as well.
00:26:13Love ya.
00:26:22It's right up here.
00:26:25The signal's still about a half a mile away.
00:26:29Yeah.
00:26:30Jesus.
00:26:31Oh, man. What the hell?
00:26:33Are you sure it was here?
00:26:34Yeah, dude. There's the rock.
00:26:37The body was right here, man.
00:26:41Yeah, look.
00:26:43That's the vial he had.
00:26:45With the possible blood samples.
00:26:48Is there any way one of these things would be smart enough to hide a body?
00:26:51I don't know, dude. Maybe it, they, whatever moved it.
00:26:59They.
00:27:01I think it's a good idea to wait for the DNA results before going to the cops.
00:27:06Look, not to paint a rosier picture of what happened today.
00:27:11I mean, your friend did get killed by a mythological creature.
00:27:16Right.
00:27:18But, uh, if you go to the cops, tell them exactly what happened, I don't see how they'd look at you at all suspicious.
00:27:24I mean, if you were the killer, why on, why on earth would you report it? Doesn't make any sense.
00:27:30To be clever.
00:27:32Very clever.
00:27:33Right. Well, you know, you barely know me, man. I mean, what, what's your honest take on, on behaviors you've seen me do?
00:27:38I don't think you seem like a serial killer, like, off the top.
00:27:42Thank you. Appreciate it.
00:27:43You seem like a nice enough guy. You seem like you're trying to tell the truth, but...
00:27:47And again, Ted Bundy.
00:27:49Yeah, but Ted Bundy didn't volunteer information about his victims.
00:27:53Look, you're obviously going to be a suspect. There's no helping that.
00:27:57But if you go to the cops now, maybe our unborn child won't have to visit their father in prison.
00:28:04I appreciate you being concerned, but, um, do you know any of the cops in Willits?
00:28:12I know a couple. One's a good egg. I told him what happened to me last year. He didn't laugh.
00:28:20Look, I don't disbelieve what you say, Jason. We just still don't know what hurled that rock. And frankly, you didn't see it.
00:28:33Look, I saw the rock, Ben. All right? Here's a picture. Look.
00:28:38I mean, it's hard to imagine any, what, any sort of human throwing that with any accuracy, what, more than four, six feet?
00:28:44Yeah. I only saw it for about a second. I think it went way farther than that.
00:28:48Why would you think that?
00:28:49Well, let's say, assume 10 feet. Anything that was within 10 feet of us that would have thrown that, almost positive we would have heard it in the brush.
00:28:57Also, the arc of it tells me it probably came at least 30 feet.
00:29:03Got a good one.
00:29:18You wouldn't happen to know the blood type of your friend, would you?
00:29:26No.
00:29:30What type of research were you guys doing up here?
00:29:32Well, we were trying to get DNA from an unclassified primate. Possible unidentified primate.
00:29:41Legally, I assume.
00:29:43How long you lived around here, Ben?
00:29:45Eleven years.
00:29:47And what do you think the chances, from what you know, that there might be something like a Bigfoot around here?
00:29:51Well, until I heard, what, Jeff's story six months ago, I was a pretty die-hard skeptic.
00:30:02Not so much now.
00:30:04Anyway, I'll know by tonight if this is human blood, and if it is, most of this ridgeline will be sealed off tomorrow.
00:30:13I had the DNA results run a couple of times. It showed no match to any known primates, but it definitely showed primate markers.
00:30:22It appears to be unique.
00:30:24But, until a type specimen is found whose DNA matches this, it doesn't prove that Bigfeet exists, just that it's something new to science that is primate.
00:30:35What's the update with the police about Brian?
00:30:37Same stuff. They cordoned off the, you know, the top of the hill, added a few more investigators, they didn't find anything.
00:30:45You still haven't told them about the tracking device?
00:30:46Dude, I don't want a bunch of guys with semi-automatic weaponry, and God knows what kind of attitude, who think that, you know, Bigfoot's got some blood lust for humans, you know?
00:30:57It's like, even though I know a Bigfoot probably killed my friend, I'm leaving the benefit of the doubt, you know?
00:31:02Hire primates, throw stones as warnings, not weapons. That's my understanding.
00:31:0820 pounders?
00:31:10You know, there's not a lot of rocks up there.
00:31:13Brian's gun goes off, gets the rock, hurls it in our general direction, and fortunately it hits Brian.
00:31:20Well, what's your next move?
00:31:22Want to find Brian's body.
00:31:24You know, it moved to the south while they were searching up there, but now the signal is back in that same general area, so I'm going to pinpoint there.
00:31:34Again, I really do appreciate you keeping the DNA results under wraps for at least a few days.
00:31:40Yeah, sure thing.
00:31:42Okay, thank you.
00:31:44Can I keep these?
00:31:45Yeah, yeah, definitely. Be careful.
00:31:46Awesome.
00:31:47Good luck.
00:31:55Okay, so if we see this thing, that makes any, and I mean any aggressive movements towards us, we are letting loose, right?
00:32:01Yeah, it depends how close it is.
00:32:04How close is really close?
00:32:06Still working on it.
00:32:08You're not nervous, are you?
00:32:09Yeah, a little bit.
00:32:11It's good.
00:32:12It's a good defense mechanism.
00:32:24It's a good place.
00:32:26Yep.
00:32:27Looks like there might be some hairs there.
00:32:28Right?
00:32:46Do it.
00:32:47There's a little place.
00:32:51Yep.
00:32:52Looks like there might be some hairs there.
00:32:54I can come back later and check it.
00:32:57It's 250 yards away.
00:32:59Let's keep going.
00:33:10Uh-oh.
00:33:11What the hell is that?
00:33:13Uh, I'm not quite sure.
00:33:17But, uh, let's keep moving.
00:33:21200 yards.
00:33:25It hasn't moved in about a minute.
00:33:28So I don't...
00:33:29Hold on.
00:33:31Naturally, it's moving right toward us.
00:33:33Of course it is.
00:33:35Hold on.
00:33:3750 yards.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:43Now it's moving away.
00:33:44In the other direction.
00:33:46This thing still set booby traps today.
00:33:48Hope not.
00:33:49Yeah, me too.
00:34:00Ugh.
00:34:01Oh, shit.
00:34:02A peace offering?
00:34:03No, it's...
00:34:04I think it's more like, here's what you're looking for now.
00:34:06Leave me the hell alone.
00:34:07Oh, shit.
00:34:08Uh, peace offering?
00:34:09No, it's...
00:34:10I think it's more like, here's what you're looking for now.
00:34:11Leave me the hell alone.
00:34:12Jensen here.
00:34:13This is Jason.
00:34:15Uh,
00:34:16Jeff and I found Brian's body.
00:34:17Where?
00:34:18On the hill.
00:34:20Specifically, where on the hill?
00:34:21Jensen here this is Jason Jeff and I found Brian's body where on the hill
00:34:33specifically where about a third of a mile from where he was killed you know
00:34:41our perimeter extended over a half mile in all directions there's still lots of
00:34:46vegetation up there and you know we only have five searchers
00:34:51put Jeff on the line for a second would you sure
00:34:59hey yeah Ben what's up what's the condition of the body what you'd expect
00:35:06from a 40-year-old corpse did the smell lead you to the body yeah he's pretty
00:35:13ripe I'll be up there within an hour
00:35:26Jensen's gonna be here in about 15 minutes I want to show you something to look like to
00:35:33you where did you find that okay you made the nest right about 20 feet beyond
00:35:39that well it looks like a placenta yeah you need to tell Jensen about that
00:35:46it looks like the head wound was pretty obviously the cause of death it's got an open skull fracture
00:36:08with exposed brain matter I'd say it looked like it hit him about 45 degree angle from his left
00:36:16interior side it's got lots of dirt and vegetation in his clothes I wouldn't be surprised if he was
00:36:22partially buried for a while hey guys yeah I'm pretty damn sure that this area was searched a couple days
00:36:32ago I mean is there anything that you want to add to that besides the DNA results that you say came
00:36:40from a blood splatter which apparently belongs to an unknown primate you why did you think there'd be
00:36:45any blood to recover tried to shoot a tracking device into a Sasquatch satellite face so is it
00:36:53being tracked yeah okay then where the hell is last we checked about a third of a mile to the west
00:36:59let me guess you've tracked it on your phone okay I'm gonna need your phone Jason I'm gonna need a
00:37:06warrant for that I could take you in right now for obstructing an investigation look man I just didn't
00:37:14want you know the shoot nanny scenario going I mean what are you thinking that anyone I bring up here
00:37:19would just start blasting away like the idiots in the first Rambo movie Jeff you know about this
00:37:23hey I also got something else to tell you what that the Bigfoot is a cyborg you built years ago and
00:37:32it escaped from a lab no what am I looking at my wife's a biologist looked on Google with
00:37:45match which he said it looks like some type of afterbirth so if this thing killed your friend I'm
00:38:00gonna have to do it like I would any other rabbit animal needs to be put down or at the very least
00:38:05tranquilized look if you don't know the specific physiology of an animal you can enrage it and
00:38:15potentially a lot of people could get hurt okay and this tracking signal I mean God forbid if it goes
00:38:22out right and within a month or a year this thing ends up killing someone else who do you think is
00:38:28partially responsible for that you and me if these things have existed all this time and they
00:38:35had a pinch on for killing humans don't you think we would have verified them by now it seems like
00:38:40they just want to be left alone and they've done a damn good job of it so far the chances of another
00:38:46killing I mean accidental or otherwise just seem low not low enough look just try to promise me this
00:38:54dude you won't get some ragtag posse out there you know the more people you get out there looking for
00:39:01this thing the farther and the quicker it's gonna go anyway and that would make you happy right okay
00:39:09you sure you don't want to hand over that phone now you know like I said I think I'd be more
00:39:13comfortable with a war and I'm sure you'd also feel more comfortable with me trying to explain to a
00:39:21judge what kind of animal killed your friend what are you gonna tell the judge what kind of animal do
00:39:29you think this is it's unknown at this time sir seems apparent but it hurled a 20 pound rock I guess that
00:39:40rules out bear and cougar right right also found some non-human hair on the deceased that indicates possible non-human primate
00:39:53placenta like material was found near the body may have been trying to protect its young
00:40:04this all happened up near uh pure ridge that's right yes now this uh Jason foul you think he's messing
00:40:17with you I don't see it sir the hairs his willingness to come forth and report his friend missing the
00:40:26testimony of the Ranger the alleged placenta yeah regardless I mean something is responsible for that
00:40:37man's death what are your plans related to the tracking of the signal I should have 15 to 20
00:40:47officers including fish and game and surrounding counties up here within I'd say a couple days
00:40:53and I did put a call into UC Davis for their thoughts on tranquilization good very good I'll sign it for
00:41:04you yeah all right all right let me know what you find out will do
00:41:17thank you thank you all right and give Megan my love I will
00:41:23well isn't there a safe level of something where a large mammal could at least be put into a stupor
00:41:31well what kind of weight of mystery animal are we talking about probably between three and five hundred
00:41:39pounds and those hairs were definitely identified as primate but not human yes and you're definitely
00:41:49not calling from a morning radio show trying to get me to admit that I take Bigfoot seriously yes I'm sure
00:41:55how convinced are you lieutenant what that it's sasquatch that you're dealing with convinced enough to be calling you okay um well a moderate dose of ketamine should make an animal that size fairly loopy it has a track record of pacifying instead of releasing aggression
00:42:17aggression it's kind of like a couple of tequila and if you don't mind me asking what are you going to do with it if you find it and put it under
00:42:31still working on it we'll figure it out
00:42:38hey Matthew yeah good good hey listen I've got something I think you might be interested in
00:42:53hello I'm professor Matthew Olson and I teach anthropology at Humboldt University in Northern California
00:43:11the specific evidence of what I'm about to tell you is going to be revealed very soon and one of the
00:43:17the world's greatest zoological mysteries will be solved a couple months ago two men from Arkansas were out hunting and they stumbled across something extremely unusual these two men found the remains of a large primate species unknown to the United States
00:43:36more importantly unknown to the world at large negotiations are currently taking place on how to release this evidence I have personally seen these remains with my own two eyes
00:43:46and I am telling you that I am certain that they will verify the stories associated with the alleged tall tales folklore mythological mystery surrounding the phenomenon that you know as Bigfoot
00:44:04just remember where you heard it first again my name is Matthew Olson and to all my fellow explorers out there never stop searching never lose your curiosity
00:44:15until next time friends
00:44:20so wait the idea now is to run this creature or creatures out of the area before Ben gets access to your phone?
00:44:27exactly
00:44:28well that seems a bit dicey
00:44:30I don't know I think the plan is pretty good you know Jeff and I get close not too close to be conked by a rock maybe throw some yells out or fire some shots I think it is going to keep him moving in the other direction
00:44:41ok and if it doesn't?
00:44:42ok and if it doesn't?
00:44:43well we're uh... well I'll worry about that when it possibly doesn't happen
00:44:48babe are you sure this is the right thing to do?
00:44:56I'm not sure I don't have any other options
00:45:00ok well I'd like you to get sure
00:45:02hello?
00:45:18Dr. Schlesinger Matthew Olson here how have you been?
00:45:21fine how are you Matthew?
00:45:23coping from all the negativity you've been experiencing I hope?
00:45:26what can I do for you?
00:45:27well you know one of those proverbial little birds told me that some recent DNA tests you ran show a new primate species
00:45:34I was wondering if you would be willing to share any details at this point
00:45:39pretty soon Matthew
00:45:41pretty soon
00:45:42any idea how soon?
00:45:44I'd keep an eye out for the next issue of Scientific American
00:45:46findings in the next issue?
00:45:48no but I'd keep an eye out
00:45:50take care Matt
00:45:51so good to hear from you
00:45:52ugh
00:45:53Jerry!
00:46:21Hey, Terry, it's Wilson.
00:46:31What do you want?
00:46:35I haven't seen you in a while.
00:46:37How you been?
00:46:41There's been some stuff going on, Terry.
00:46:45I thought you might be interested in hearing about.
00:46:48Not really interested.
00:46:51Looks like one of your friends may have killed someone.
00:46:57They're not my friends.
00:46:59But you know them.
00:47:02I guess part of the reason I'm here is to fill you in on the details
00:47:11and get any advice you might have.
00:47:15Maybe you can help.
00:47:16Got it, got it, got it.
00:47:26Aim for the center, kind of work outwards.
00:47:30Okay, why vinegar?
00:47:32That's vinegar.
00:47:34Why vinegar?
00:47:36I read somewhere that the chimps ate it, so you know, what the hell?
00:47:40Yeah, this is really the only place around here that's pretty nest-like, so it should keep my way, theoretically.
00:47:46Okay.
00:47:48Okay.
00:47:49Jensen here.
00:47:50Is this Lieutenant Jensen with the Willits Police Department?
00:47:52Yeah, who's this?
00:47:53Dr. Matthew Olson.
00:47:54I'm an anthropologist.
00:47:55I've heard you may be tracking something of interest to science.
00:48:01Look, I can't discuss anything with an ongoing investigation.
00:48:21of interest to science.
00:48:26Look, I can't discuss anything
00:48:29with an ongoing investigation.
00:48:30Even if it pertains to a possible
00:48:32major scientific discovery?
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:35Well, if you're in need of any advice
00:48:37concerning capture and containment,
00:48:39please feel free to call me back anytime day or night.
00:48:41Look, how did you get my number?
00:48:43Hopefully hear from you soon, Lieutenant.
00:48:48Why did you decide to call me after all this time?
00:48:50Oh, come on, old friends do catch up.
00:48:53How are you?
00:48:55Fine.
00:48:56So, is it true you ran directly at a silverback?
00:49:00Ah, he was showing zero signs of aggression.
00:49:03I heard he did it afterwards.
00:49:05Couple of bruises for the cause, no biggie.
00:49:09So how's working for Rene been for you?
00:49:12Oh, fine.
00:49:13Nice guy.
00:49:16And how's the infamous tracker gun
00:49:17I keep hearing about coming along?
00:49:20Pretty well.
00:49:21I think he might be letting someone
00:49:22have a go with it soon.
00:49:24I was supposed to do a spec test on it
00:49:25four days ago and it was gone.
00:49:27I'm still confused on how that tracking works.
00:49:29It's a fairly simple link up
00:49:31to a group of privately owned networks.
00:49:33There are a lot of companies now
00:49:34who rent out access.
00:49:36Well, I hope he's getting a good deal.
00:49:38What company did he settle on?
00:49:42I think Tronix.
00:49:45That's with an X.
00:49:46And depending on the project,
00:49:49the signal is accessible to other academics.
00:49:56Well, that's up to Rene.
00:49:59And probably the status of the academic.
00:50:06As it should be.
00:50:10All right.
00:50:10Hey hon, Lieutenant Jensen just left.
00:50:15He had a warrant.
00:50:16He said he may have to take you into custody
00:50:18for obstructing an investigation.
00:50:19Well, that's nice of him.
00:50:21I just had an interesting call.
00:50:22It's not nice.
00:50:23What do you mean?
00:50:24Schlesinger calls me,
00:50:25tells me there's this jackass anthropologist
00:50:27named Matthew Olson who has been snooping around
00:50:30about the satellite data we've been using.
00:50:32Why would he do that?
00:50:33Well, the theory is he got hoaxed about four years ago
00:50:36by these guys from Arkansas.
00:50:38He just bought their story and he didn't verify it.
00:50:41So he ended up losing his tenure at Humboldt,
00:50:43kind of became a laughing stock.
00:50:45And he immediately becomes a pro-kill advocate.
00:50:48But now he thinks you have to kill one
00:50:50in order to save the others.
00:50:51Rene's pretty certain that this guy would go to extremes
00:50:54to get what he wants.
00:50:55He wants to get to that signal first.
00:50:58Is there any way to change the frequency on the tracker?
00:51:00Uh, I have no idea.
00:51:02It's a good question, though.
00:51:03You don't know?
00:51:04I don't.
00:51:05You seriously had one of those you don't know.
00:51:06Where are you guys now?
00:51:07Uh, we're about eight miles from the cabin.
00:51:10Some good news.
00:51:11The, uh, signal is moving away from the nesting area.
00:51:15All right.
00:51:15That's good to hear.
00:51:16Neil?
00:51:31Yeah.
00:51:32Just to be clear you're not a con or anything, yeah?
00:51:36No.
00:51:38OK.
00:51:39So you understand how this works.
00:51:40Yeah.
00:51:41Give me the name of the satellite company, the specific-as-you-can area where the search
00:51:45is taking place, when the search got started, and I can probably get you a signal.
00:51:50And only for five grand.
00:51:53Hacking always seems to be more expensive in films than TV, and the hacker's always
00:51:57nerdlier.
00:51:58Look, since it's a private company, the encryption levels aren't as hard as, you know, government
00:52:06ones.
00:52:07Hence the relative discount.
00:52:09How long will it take?
00:52:11Give me until the end of the day.
00:52:13If I can't get in then, I'll take $1,500 for the effort.
00:52:16Do you mind if I ask you what this is about?
00:52:19Oh, come on, speaking of movies, the less you know, the better.
00:52:26Okay, look, no one gets hurt because I'm giving you this information, yeah?
00:52:33I promise, Scout's honor, nobody's gonna be harmed in the making of a possible major
00:52:39scientific discovery.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:41Look, once I get the signal, I'll patch it into your cell phone.
00:52:47I'll link it up to the app and you can track it that way.
00:52:52Have you given any more thought to the additional tracking option?
00:52:55I have, and I was able to scrounge up an extra three grand, so yes.
00:53:00I want to be able to see where the other person is who is also tracking the signal.
00:53:05And Venmo's fine?
00:53:07No.
00:53:08Leo, take it easy.
00:53:11Just remember movie cliche number three.
00:53:17If you screw me on this, we're both screw.
00:53:23There's only one road that leads from down there up to here, and we're on it right now.
00:53:41Well, if this Matthew guy shows up, no okay corral bullshit, okay?
00:53:45But who's your huckleberry?
00:53:47That is not encouraging.
00:53:48I love you, honey.
00:53:50How's she doing?
00:53:51She's encouraged.
00:53:52Yeah.
00:53:53Jensen?
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:55You're gonna go to jail, dude.
00:53:56Well, you know, let's add in other things to what's going on.
00:54:01Good God.
00:54:02Uh, no.
00:54:03Hold on.
00:54:04Hello?
00:54:05I'm, uh, Wilson Taylor.
00:54:06I'm the judge that's a lawyer.
00:54:08I'm not a lawyer.
00:54:09I'm not a lawyer.
00:54:10I'm not a lawyer.
00:54:11I'm not a lawyer.
00:54:12I'm not a lawyer.
00:54:13I'm not a lawyer.
00:54:14I'm a lawyer.
00:54:15I'm not a lawyer.
00:54:16I'm the judge that signed off on the search of your house for the, uh, phone.
00:54:21I just wanted you to know that, um, if you get close to whatever it is you're tracking,
00:54:27be on the lookout for someone who might not appreciate what you're doing.
00:54:31Is this person looking for a specimen?
00:54:33Oh, good Lord, no.
00:54:34I'm referring to someone who is under the impression that's what you want to do.
00:54:39I'm not.
00:54:40What is it, then, Jason, that you want to accomplish?
00:54:43I'm trying to learn about him without killing one.
00:54:46Look, can you let that someone know that I'm looking to help, not hurt?
00:54:50The fellow I talked to that I'm referring to is Terry, and...
00:54:56Look, I didn't, I didn't think he'd get so heated about what I told him.
00:55:00I thought he was going to be able to help the situation.
00:55:04What's he look like?
00:55:05Kind of raggedy, tall, late 50s, but fit.
00:55:10Ted Kaczynski comes to mind.
00:55:12Oh, that's good.
00:55:13Thanks.
00:55:14That's great.
00:55:15Uh, seriously, Judge, thanks for the call.
00:55:16Appreciate it.
00:55:17All right, Jason.
00:55:19Where's your backpack?
00:55:24So, it looks like it is not that hard to get guys to hack into private satellite company data streams.
00:55:32And that Olsen guy?
00:55:34Seems like quite the motivated asshole.
00:55:37A little like, uh, Jack Black in King Kong?
00:55:40Much, much meaner.
00:55:42All right, now Google how to bury a body in the woods.
00:55:45Don't you think I already have that book marked?
00:55:47I'm not shoveling.
00:56:12Look, anyone trying to come up here is going to have to pass the junction at the cabin, okay?
00:56:15We're like nine miles from there.
00:56:17What I'd like you to do, get in the car, wait, kind of be on the download and be on the lookout
00:56:22for any, like, single crusty looking males around 50ish.
00:56:26Sure.
00:56:27How are you guys holding up?
00:56:28What's the latest tracking?
00:56:30Uh, it's, uh, it hasn't moved and thankfully it hasn't gone back toward the nest.
00:56:35You know, I'm actually kind of proud of you for doing this.
00:56:38I love you too.
00:56:41We should go.
00:56:43You wanna get your gun?
00:56:48Yeah, I know.
00:56:49That might be good.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:52Yeah.
00:56:53Yeah.
00:56:54Yeah.
00:56:55What's up?
00:56:56A beat up jeep but one salty looking dude's heading your way.
00:57:08How long ago?
00:57:09About 30 seconds.
00:57:10What'd he look like?
00:57:11I don't know, like Nick Nolte after a rough night.
00:57:12Granted, that's pretty redundant.
00:57:13Anyway, he looks pretty pissed.
00:57:14What are you gonna do?
00:57:15Uh, not exactly sure.
00:57:16All right, well be careful.
00:57:17Thanks a lot.
00:57:18All right, so let me, let me get this straight.
00:57:19So the crazier you're looking, the crazier you're looking, the guy in the vehicle, the more likely it is the guy that thinks that you're trying to shoot one, right?
00:57:34Yes.
00:57:35And then the not so crazy looking but still some kind of a dick guy, um, probably gonna show up, not harmful to us, and he wants to kill a Sasquatch just to prove they exist.
00:57:41Yeah, I don't quite know how we're gonna deal with him.
00:57:43Yeah, no, that's not a plan.
00:57:44Yeah, no, that's not a plan.
00:58:05He's not driving crazy.
00:58:24Yeah, I'm pretty sure he sees us, man.
00:58:27Um, no spiders.
00:58:29Okay, easy, Barney 5.
00:58:31I'm not getting a total wackadoodle vibe here, so I'm gonna go out, put the gun in the truck, try to talk to him.
00:58:39But, here, take this.
00:58:42Left hand.
00:58:44Keep it low off here.
00:58:46Keep it on him.
00:58:47If he makes a threatening gesture, fire a shot down low.
00:58:50If he comes out with a gun, hit him.
00:58:52Right.
00:58:53Okay?
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:55Good?
00:58:56You're giving me way too much credit as a marksman, but another great plan.
00:58:58Hey, man.
00:58:59How you doing?
00:59:00I'm not here to kill anything, but there's probably a guy on the way who wants to do just that.
00:59:12Why are you tracking?
00:59:14I want to learn more about them without hurting them.
00:59:17You've already hurt them.
00:59:18Can I come closer so we don't have to keep friggin' yelling?
00:59:21Sure.
00:59:22But your friend back there with the shiny rifle, he needs to put it down and come out to where you are.
00:59:27Okay, dude.
00:59:28Come on.
00:59:29Come on.
00:59:30You sure about that?
00:59:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:32It's okay.
00:59:33There you go.
00:59:36Okay.
00:59:37Now, you can come up to 20 feet in front of my Jeep, and he can stay where he is.
00:59:46Look.
00:59:47There's this asshat named Matthew Olson who's got access to my satellite data.
01:00:01He's hijacked it, okay?
01:00:02This guy's gone on record as wanting to kill one of these things.
01:00:05He's the guy you need to talk to.
01:00:08Where is that signal coming from now?
01:00:15About 400 yards that way.
01:00:17That's the one with the tracker in it.
01:00:20But there's probably another one up there as well.
01:00:22Yeah.
01:00:23Who else had said that?
01:00:25How are you connected to this thing, man?
01:00:29Thirty years ago, I was growing weed up on the ridge line.
01:00:35I was the main supplier for this county.
01:00:38Then one day, my best grove sitter up and quit.
01:00:44Said he saw an ape on the edge of the grove munching on some weed.
01:00:49The sitter was, you know, a straight shooter.
01:00:53So I half believed him.
01:00:55So the next day, I watched over the grove.
01:01:00And around dusk, I heard some movement.
01:01:04So I turned the corner.
01:01:06There it was, sure as shit, a big eight.
01:01:09Six foot plus staring right at me.
01:01:12Five hundred pounds easy.
01:01:15So I yelled.
01:01:18Yelled for it to leave.
01:01:21No go.
01:01:23Took a half step toward me and I panicked.
01:01:26And I put three rifle shots into his chest.
01:01:29Thirty-odd six.
01:01:30Fell face first in the room.
01:01:32I don't think he meant me any harm,
01:01:35but I was stupid.
01:01:40I was greedy, scared,
01:01:43from watching too many monster movies when I was growing up.
01:01:49I buried him up there.
01:01:54Then I pulled all my plants the following day.
01:01:57Go ahead, get that.
01:01:58Okay.
01:01:59That's my wife.
01:02:02Yeah.
01:02:03Okay, thanks, sweetie.
01:02:06Guy I was talking about, Matthew Olson.
01:02:09He's on his way.
01:02:11Okay.
01:02:12So I suggest you two go get up with the creatures.
01:02:14Keep them moving south.
01:02:16Start from where your truck is.
01:02:17I'm gonna go back down the road and I'm gonna have a little talk with Mr. Olson.
01:02:21Here you go.
01:02:42Okay, here we go.
01:02:43I don't know.
01:03:13I don't know.
01:03:43Shit.
01:03:45He's heading back toward the nesting area.
01:04:01It's actually kind of coming closer to us.
01:04:03I don't know.
01:04:05I don't know.
01:04:09I don't know.
01:04:11I don't know.
01:04:13I don't know.
01:04:15I don't know.
01:04:17I don't know.
01:04:19I don't know.
01:04:21I don't know.
01:04:23I don't know.
01:04:25I don't know.
01:04:27I don't know.
01:04:29I don't know.
01:04:31I don't know.
01:04:33I don't know.
01:04:35I don't know.
01:04:37I don't know.
01:04:39I don't know.
01:04:41I don't know.
01:04:51Drop it.
01:04:53And who are you?
01:04:57Drop it.
01:04:59Are you with Jason?
01:05:01Nope.
01:05:05What do you want?
01:05:06I want you to leave.
01:05:08Why?
01:05:09You know why.
01:05:10No, actually I don't.
01:05:12You have a spare tire in your car?
01:05:15Yeah.
01:05:16Good job.
01:05:17By the way, I'm here for science and to protect.
01:05:21By killing one?
01:05:22Probably orphaning another one?
01:05:24Shut the fuck up.
01:05:26Orphaning?
01:05:26Look, I'll assume you have a loaded gun pointed at me.
01:05:31Would you mind lowering it so we can talk face to face?
01:05:35Turn around.
01:05:42If a specimen is brought in, then they can be protected.
01:05:47They've done pretty well for themselves over the years.
01:05:49But with further encroachment on their habitat,
01:05:52they're going to need a little help, don't you think?
01:05:53Your popularity doesn't help them.
01:05:56Now take your phone out,
01:05:59put it on that stump,
01:06:00and set it upright.
01:06:09I'm going to need a stone or something.
01:06:11Then find one.
01:06:11I've got a Colt 1911 here.
01:06:30And you're going to need it.
01:06:31Where was that?
01:06:38That way.
01:06:39That way.
01:06:44Signal's over there.
01:06:45Shot came from that direction.
01:06:47What do you think about us staying in the middle,
01:06:49in between them?
01:06:52I mean, if you hack the signal,
01:06:53why not us?
01:06:54That's not a happy thought,
01:06:58but, uh...
01:06:59And, uh...
01:07:29God, I suck at this.
01:07:38Jason?
01:07:39Yeah?
01:07:41Let me guess.
01:07:43You figured I could track you and you left your smartphone back aways.
01:07:47Right again.
01:07:48Smart move.
01:07:51But how'd you know I was without your phone?
01:07:54Well, we knew you were coming from the right, signal was to the left.
01:07:56Keep looking forward, dickhead.
01:07:58So we just aimed for the middle and got lucky.
01:08:03Actually, at this point, I'm really just trying to get out of here,
01:08:06get back to my car after my run-in with your friend Billy Bob back there.
01:08:09Yeah, you must be spatially dyslexic, dude.
01:08:11You came from the other way.
01:08:13All right, do me a favor.
01:08:14Throw your gun up in front of those trees up there.
01:08:17Straight ahead?
01:08:18Yeah, straight ahead.
01:08:19You want to die out of here, man?
01:08:34No, I just want to do my job as a scientist.
01:08:37You honestly think you're protecting them as a species by trying to stop me?
01:08:41You have no idea how many are left.
01:08:44They're getting duped by those Arkansas yokels who really fuck your head up where you just don't give a shit.
01:08:51Jason, you know if I don't get one, someone else will, right?
01:08:56How hard is it to understand that we learn more about them in their natural environment?
01:09:00The tracker provides that.
01:09:02Right.
01:09:03If, if it continues to work.
01:09:06And that's a pretty big if, Jason.
01:09:08Yeah, and the killing of one is just the price they and their offspring have to pay.
01:09:12Right, asshole?
01:09:13Oh, your naivety is touching, Jason.
01:09:17What's the old saying?
01:09:19You can't stop progress.
01:09:21And of course, you know that's true.
01:09:23So why don't we just stop this right now, Jason?
01:09:26Because you're not stupid.
01:09:28And this is stupid.
01:09:30Oh, shit.
01:10:00Where do you think Terry is?
01:10:26I don't know.
01:10:31As it turned out, Terry, by way of the judge, made me an offer that if I stopped all active
01:10:37investigation into the tagged creature for two years, and that I promised to not publicly
01:10:42disclose what had gone on this past couple of weeks, he would let me know where he buried
01:10:46the one he shot 30 years prior.
01:10:48I told the judge to tell him that I needed to think about it.
01:10:54a few inches thinking about it.
01:10:55Well,poxie, I took a lot.
01:10:55And if he dragged, you could do it.
01:10:57Probably not.
01:10:58I tried the to keep you alive so this message is that little girl has a guy.
01:11:00This is his action.
01:11:01It will hold me up the other way.
01:11:01If you hold me under the judge.
01:11:02And maybe he takes a lot of time because he created a smallpox.
01:11:03Oh, it won't let me know in the other time.
01:11:04But no, I'll but do not跡.
