02:09It's a mother wolf that was shot, but still alive.
02:33Lucky you found her when you did.
02:35I was headed to an early morning climb near Lake Laverne,
02:37but I spotted the wolf on the way.
02:39Was this before or after you got that slick new haircut?
02:43Trying to impress your girlfriend?
02:45How's the wolf?
02:46Fish and game just rushed her to the vet.
02:48Is she gonna make it?
02:50They're not sure.
02:51Poachers?
02:53Then why shoot her and leave her here?
02:56Maybe something scared them off?
02:58Or maybe it ran away?
03:00From what I saw, it wasn't a clean shot.
03:02Hit the tracking collar.
03:04Is it still working?
03:05I don't think so.
03:07Maybe it got shot somewhere else and found its way here.
03:12Blood trail.
03:14Crime scene must be that way.
03:22Track.
03:24Good spotting.
03:26I mean, we would have got there.
03:31The trail ends here.
03:33Oh, look at this.
03:39Use casing.
03:48That's a 350 legend.
03:51You don't see these much.
03:54Over here.
03:57Tire tracks.
03:59Fresh.
04:00Tire size is probably about 18 inches.
04:04Probably a truck or SUV.
04:05Something big.
04:07They're all so unbalanced.
04:08You see how one set is digging in a bit deeper than the other?
04:11Since when do you know so much about tires?
04:13My dad was a mechanic.
04:15But my whole childhood in his garage.
04:18This info could have come up when we had that flat two months ago.
04:21You made me change it.
04:22In the rain.
04:23We said to let you handle it.
04:25It's called being a gentleman.
04:27Ryan, I'm going to take your statement.
04:29Let's call this into HQ.
04:45Tyson and King here.
04:47How's the wolf doing?
04:48She's on her way to surgery.
04:50Tyson, did you look up the serial number on her collar?
04:52Doing it now?
04:53I mean, I love this wolf trail app.
04:55Real game changer for wolf population tracking.
04:57Gives us their numbers, migration patterns, and a whole slew of other information.
05:01Why do I get the feeling your hobby is wolves?
05:04Apps, actually.
05:05The shell casing was a medium range rifle.
05:08350 legend from what I can tell.
05:10I sense it over already.
05:11This whole thing was sloppy.
05:13Wasn't a clean shot.
05:14If this was hunters or poachers, then we'd expect better.
05:17Maybe they were in a hurry.
05:19Or inexperienced.
05:20You see that with young hunters.
05:21You mentioned tire tracks.
05:22Where are they?
05:23Near the crime scene.
05:24Forensics is sending in photos.
05:25The wolf's name is Layla.
05:27Three years old.
05:28Layla just had a litter of newborn pups.
05:31They're a week old and they haven't been tagged.
05:33Without their mother, these pups can't defend themselves.
05:36Mountain lions, bears.
05:37They need water, food, protection.
05:41Meeks, Esposito, you case the area.
05:43Larson, you and Blue need to get to those pups.
05:47All right, let's get to work.
05:49Copy.
05:53Come on, buddy.
06:02I'm going with you.
06:03Going after the wolf pups, right?
06:05That's the plan.
06:06Yeah, I've got the app.
06:08We can follow Layla's patterns.
06:09Maybe that'll lead us to the pups.
06:13Okay.
06:15You want to follow on your quad?
06:16I can pick it up later.
06:18Fine.
06:19I'll let King know you're coming for a ride-along.
06:22Of course.
06:28Hey.
06:30Comfy?
06:32No.
06:38Okay, buddy.
07:21I'll let King know you're coming for a ride-along.
07:51I'll let King know you're coming for a ride-along.
08:20Let King know you're coming for a ride-along.
08:25When's the final canine test?
08:27Today.
08:28And then Blue will officially be part of the team.
08:31You ready for it?
08:32He is.
08:34Not sure I am.
08:36So tell me about the app.
08:37Can you see everywhere that Layla's been?
08:39No.
08:40It's not continuous.
08:42It uploads at regular intervals, so you can tell generally where she's been.
08:46Looks like the last few days, Layla's been traveling in about a three-kilometer area,
08:50so the pups, they've got to be in that zone.
08:52Bernard for Larson.
08:55Go for Larson.
08:56Go for Larson.
08:57Well, this is just got back to us.
08:58It's like you thought.
08:59Medium-range rifle.
09:00Great.
09:00Any other information?
09:02Not until they get that bullet and try to match it.
09:04They're working on it, but it's going to take a few hours.
09:06Copy that.
09:07Could you send it to me some Nora, please?
09:08Got it.
09:19So it was a medium-range rifle.
09:21There's only a million of those.
09:23Well, .350 Legend's not common, so that could be the way in.
09:26Something.
09:28Maybe they saw something.
09:30Excuse me.
09:32We're detectives with MPS.
09:35Hi.
09:37Hi, we're investigating an incident in the park.
09:39What kind of incident?
09:41Gunshots were heard.
09:43Have either of you seen or heard anything out of the ordinary?
09:46No, nothing.
09:47No.
09:49Excuse me.
09:52Officer Esposito?
09:56Okay.
09:58Excuse me.
09:59We need to get going.
10:00Thank you so much for your time.
10:01Of course.
10:02What's up?
10:04We have a couple of witnesses at the edge of the camp who heard gunshots this morning.
10:17Oh, what's that?
10:19The wildlife listening device.
10:22Fancy, right?
10:24Well, you just happen to have that.
10:26Thought you were heading on a climb to Lake LaBerne this morning.
10:28I was.
10:30I had this on my quad.
10:31We use it in search and rescue.
10:33I thought maybe we could hear the pups crying.
10:41Wow.
10:43Boss, you're going to want to see this.
10:53Is that?
10:55Ryan Miller.
10:56Where's that?
10:58Whispering Pines this morning.
11:00Just before they found the wolf.
11:02So he was in the restricted area again.
11:07Didn't they get a statement this morning?
11:09Yeah, just before they called in.
11:10Pull it up.
11:14He said he was headed to Lake LaBerne.
11:18He lied.
11:21Does Ryan have a gun?
11:23Most people do.
11:24If they're going to be traveling in the backcountry.
11:27Have you ever seen him with a gun?
11:31Once.
11:32What kind?
11:36Medium range rifle.
11:44So how does that thing work exactly?
11:48Sorry?
11:49I said how does that thing work?
11:51This device allows me to hear things from hundreds of yards away.
11:54Wolf pops have a very distinct sound.
12:02I just need to make a call.
12:04Will you take blue?
12:05I'll catch up with you.
12:05Yeah, yeah.
12:06Come on, boy.
12:15This is King.
12:16Boss, why are we off the walkie?
12:18Because Ryan has a walkie and I didn't want to be overheard.
12:23Ryan Miller was seen leaving with Spring Pines this morning.
12:26The statement in the report you filed said he was headed to Laverne Lake.
12:31He's also been seen carrying a rifle sometimes.
12:33He's helping me find her, Pops.
12:35He was the one who called it in.
12:37Maybe it was an accident and he didn't want to admit it.
12:40Point is, everyone's a suspect until they're not.
12:43I know he's your friend, but we need to know more.
12:46Copy that.
12:53Hey.
12:56Hey.
13:00Hey.
13:06Hey.
13:14Hey.
13:16Hey.
13:17It's either my birthday or Jody's.
13:23Of course it's Jody's birthday.
14:07Tyson, do you copy?
14:09Go for Tyson. I've got King here with me.
14:13Some people heard gunshots,
14:15and one guy saw a pick-up truck
14:16with the American police officer.
14:19Also, there was this bird watcher.
14:21He said he saw a woman out pretty early.
14:23Come to think of it, her description was pretty close
14:25to that woman who was caught killing wolves on her land a while back.
14:28That's right. What was her name?
14:29It was a huge scandal around here.
14:33Dolores Robertson.
14:35She said the wolves attacked her dogs
14:36and she wasn't going to stand for them.
14:39Look at that.
14:41What's Dolores' property like?
14:43Layla was tracking through the area.
14:44Dolores could have easily tracked her to our crime scene
14:47and shot her.
14:47She does have a history.
14:49Tyson's going to get you an address.
14:54Good work.
14:55Thanks.
15:04Hey.
15:05Hey, look at this.
15:06What?
15:07Playlist caller came back online.
15:09Right here.
15:10Where we are.
15:12I guess it's still working.
15:14The most likely places for wolf dens are dark
15:17and protected.
15:18I think we should look right there.
15:20Could be a place for them to hide.
15:25So.
15:26Lake Laverne, huh?
15:29Huh?
15:30That's where you were on your climb this morning?
15:32Lake Laverne, right?
15:34Right.
15:37Ryan.
15:38I think I got something.
15:39Come on.
15:40This way.
15:46Lift your foot.
15:47Why?
15:47Just do it.
15:53Pretty common for poachers.
15:56Last I checked, those are illegal.
15:59Let's see what Dolores has to say about this.
16:18Stonehaven Memorial Hospital.
16:19How may I help you?
16:20Marlene.
16:21It's Bill.
16:22Bill Larson.
16:23Bill.
16:24How are you?
16:26Well, you know.
16:26Doing my best.
16:28I miss her.
16:29Me too.
16:31Listen, I'm calling hoping that you can help me with something.
16:34I'm trying to find someone.
16:35Maybe a nurse or doctor who works there with a name that starts with a P.
16:40What's the last name?
16:42Well, that is a bit of my conundrum.
16:44I don't actually have a last name.
16:46Okay.
16:47Let me check the directory.
16:56There's no one on the medical staff with a P.
16:59You sure?
17:00Mary.
17:02Sorry, Bill.
17:04That's okay.
17:05Thanks for your help.
17:07Of course.
17:09Take care, okay?
17:10You too.
17:14You too.
17:27You too.
17:29You too.
17:30You too.
17:31You too.
17:33You too.
17:38Ooh, how fun.
17:42What am I being accused of now?
17:45Ms. Robertson.
17:46We're here to discuss an incident that occurred this morning.
17:49You mean that wolf that was shot?
17:51How do you know about that?
17:53All of us who live out here stay informed about the wolves.
17:56Some of us even have that app.
17:58You can get in trouble for having that.
18:00Didn't say I did.
18:01Just said some of us do.
18:03The only wolves I mess with are the ones that try and hurt what's mine.
18:06But wolves are a protected species.
18:08Don't I know it?
18:09Someone saw you out this morning with your rifle.
18:12Protection.
18:14What about this?
18:15It's my property. I can do what I want.
18:17Not when it comes to shooting a wolf.
18:19Good thing I didn't shoot it then.
18:21And we can prove that pretty quickly.
18:22Let us run ballistics on your rifle.
18:24No thanks.
18:25At least let us take a look at your ammo.
18:27You want my rifle and bullets? Get a warrant.
18:30You want to fine me for the snare? Go for it.
18:33But I warn you.
18:34Don't try anything funny.
18:36I got cameras all around this place.
18:40No?
18:42Well then you can leave.
18:44And don't come back till you have the proper paperwork.
18:48Take my card in case you change your mind.
18:51I'll treasure this.
19:14Nothing.
19:18You want to tell me what's bugging you? You've been staring holes at the back of my head.
19:22You lied to me about where you were this morning.
19:25You were out with Spring Pines.
19:27Ah, the trail cams.
19:29Ryan, you were in a restricted area, again, and you lied about it.
19:34King's gonna wonder what else you lied about, especially since you were the one who found Leila.
19:38You can't possibly think I shot-
19:40Because I know you, but King doesn't.
19:45Do you own a hunting rifle?
19:47Yeah, a medium range .30 caliber, locked at the back of my house.
19:50I bet those trail cams didn't capture me with a rifle strapped around my back.
19:57We're running out of time.
19:59You and King can question me all you want, after we find these pubs.
20:15Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pull over here.
20:21Remember what that one park visitor from the campground said about seeing a pickup truck with an American flag in
20:26the back window?
20:26Who does?
20:27We might have found our truck based on the description. We're checking it out now.
20:30Copy that. Proceed with caution.
20:45Towers match.
20:47Blood on the tailgate.
20:55I am hunters, what did I tell you?
20:58NPS, we need to speak with you.
21:01What are you doing in the park?
21:03Sightseeing.
21:06Why the rifles then?
21:08I'd rather have it on me than not.
21:11I have a permit.
21:13Where are you coming from?
21:14I was just showing him a cool waterfall.
21:21What if I take a look at your gun?
21:28Harrington Ironwood. Nice.
21:30Mind if I ask what ammo it takes?
21:32350 Legend.
21:36It's been fired recently.
21:38Uh, we bagged a deer.
21:40Earlier outside the park grounds.
21:43Where is it?
21:44I dropped it at my uncle's.
21:46See, I might believe that.
21:47But your tires.
21:49Those tracks were found this morning near the scene of a crime.
21:51Very much inside the park.
21:53Okay, okay.
21:54It was an accident.
21:56Which one of you shot the wolf?
21:58A wolf.
21:58There was a wolf shot this morning with a .350 Legend round.
22:02But we didn't even see a wolf.
22:05We shot a deer in the park.
22:07We didn't realize you had entered it.
22:09You're saying you did not shoot a wolf?
22:11No way.
22:13We don't shoot what we can eat.
22:17Alright, let's do a ballistics test on your ammo.
22:20Once you clear things up.
22:28I'm gonna head over to that bluff.
22:30Bernard for Larson?
22:33Go for Larson.
22:34We've got King here for you.
22:37Jodi, I just spoke with a contact of mine in Yellowstone.
22:40I remembered they had a wolf problem last year.
22:43His assistant couldn't tell me how bad it was,
22:45but they did say there was a similar attack.
22:46Let me guess, wolf was female?
22:49Yes, she was tranquilized near a den of her new pups.
22:52You think they're after the females were breeding?
22:54Not just the females, but the pups too.
22:57Wolf pups bring in money, but live pups, they're worth a fortune.
23:01Then why would they shoot Layla?
23:03Maybe they didn't mean to.
23:05That's why the shot was so sloppy.
23:06That means they have no way to find the new pups without Layla.
23:10These poachers are probably trying to leave the park if they haven't already.
23:13Okay, we'll take care of this on our end.
23:15You and Ryan, find those pups.
23:18Copy that.
23:25Getting a lot of interference.
23:27Maybe we give Blue another whiff that call.
23:36All right, buddy.
23:42Search!
23:57Got something?
24:00Whoa!
24:05This must have been their den.
24:07You can see the markings in the dirt.
24:10Oh, Leila must have sensed danger
24:12She moved them
24:13Or
24:14Poach has already got them
24:17Let's keep moving
24:57Larson, do you copy?
25:00Go for Larson
25:01Just heard back from the vet
25:02Looks like Leila's gonna make it
25:04That's great
25:05We just found her den
25:07But no pups
25:08Either she moved them
25:09Or the poach has already found them
25:10Got it
25:16All right
25:17Yeah, thank you for your help
25:20They weren't lying
25:21That was their uncle
25:23Send me a picture of the deer
25:25Lovely
25:26I just got off the phone with forensics
25:28And?
25:29The ballistic fingerprint on the .350 Legend
25:31Doesn't match the kid's ironwood
25:32They said the bullet was fired
25:34From a Westfield Sentinel
25:35They're not our poachers
25:36Cut them loose
25:39Wild goose chase all day
25:41Let's head back to HQ
25:42Regroup
25:43I'll let them know
25:55You guys lost?
25:58Oh hey
25:59We were just cruising through Crystal Ridge
26:01And my phone lost service
26:03I have no idea how to get out of here
26:06What are you doing all the way out here?
26:07We're moving across the country
26:09And hitting all the national parks on the way
26:10Where are you guys headed?
26:12We wanted to see that waterfall we keep hearing about
26:15Yeah
26:16Well if you follow this service road
26:18It'll take you to the south entrance
26:19But then you're on the other side of the park
26:22Are you serious?
26:24I'm sorry we have to go
26:25Good luck
26:29Meeks
26:33Meeks this is Dolores Robertson
26:35Ms. Robertson
26:37We won't be
26:38I wanted to let you know
26:38I wanted to let you know that my camera
26:39Has cut a camper van with Montana plates
26:41Heading towards your crime scene this morning
26:44And you're reporting it
26:45That's remarkably civic-minded of you
26:48Just because I don't like wolves
26:50Doesn't mean I want some outsider shooting at them
26:53All right
26:53I've given you the information
26:55Do what you want with it
26:56Okay
26:56Thank you
26:58Wow
27:01It's gotten into him
27:02He must have picked up a scent
27:08Bernard to Larson
27:12Go for Larson
27:13Another caller just went offline
27:15Where? When?
27:1720, 30 minutes ago
27:18In your vicinity
27:20Jody
27:22Let me call you back
27:32Good boy, buddy
27:35Good boy
27:51We just found the caller
27:54Belongs to Titan
27:56Male and Layla's mate
27:58But how did the thieves find Layla
28:01Let alone know she had pups with Titan?
28:03They must be using the Wolf Trail app
28:05All the family's information's on there
28:11Layla's caller stopped transmitting after she was shot
28:14They think Layla's dead?
28:16But it came back online
28:17So maybe they think she's still alive
28:20Where's Layla's caller now?
28:21I have it
28:24I just talked to Dolores Robertson
28:26Her cameras caught a brown camper van with Montana plates
28:29Heading towards our crime scene this morning
28:32Camper van?
28:32Do you think it could be the people we ran into?
28:34Sounds like it
28:37Bernard to Larson
28:39Go for Larson
28:40We think we know who we're looking for
28:41Meeks and Nora bumped into them earlier this morning
28:44Brown camper van with Montana plates
28:46We just ran into them
28:48I think when Layla's caller came back online
28:50They were following it
28:51That's why we crossed paths
28:52They were tracking Titan on the app
28:54And they were tracking us
28:56These people know what they're doing
28:58They lost out on the mother
28:59They're tracking the father
29:01I think they're getting close to the pups
29:03You two get out there and back her up
29:07Sending her coordinates now
29:09Copy
29:13Females on the move
29:14We need to find these pups and get out of here
29:26I hear something
29:26I think the pups are nearby
29:29Is Layla's caller still tracking?
29:31Yeah
29:33If we're anywhere near the pups
29:34That means so are they
29:36What are you thinking?
29:38You go find the pups
29:39Blue and I will take care of this
29:41Okay
29:42Hey
29:44Stay safe
29:46Blue
29:48Come on, buddy
29:50All right, Blue
29:51Lead them in another direction
29:52Go
30:17No
30:18No, no, no
30:21There we go
30:23There we go
31:05What's wrong with this wolf?
31:08It's like it's doubling back
31:17HQ, I got sound in the pups
31:19We're getting close
31:20Copy
31:20I'll update the team
31:39It's slowing him down
31:46It's a dog
31:47That doesn't make sense
31:58Lower your weapons
32:07Which way?
32:12Get her, Blue, get her
32:18Go
32:43I'm good. Get blue.
32:58Good job, Blue.
33:11There you are. I found you.
33:17Shh. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here.
33:39Westfield Sentinel. Just like Forensic said.
33:42Mm-hmm. Thanks.
33:56Hello, Titan.
34:01I got you, buddy.
34:27The pups will be reunited with their mother and father once Layla's able to return to the wild.
34:33Heartwarming. I almost put it together before you did this time.
34:37Almost.
34:40How do you think it all went down?
34:43They missed out on their prize at Yellowstone. So they thought they'd take another chance.
34:48The Adlers were tracking Layla. I think Christopher wanted to tranquilize her so he could steal both her and the
34:55pups.
34:56But he was clumsy. And she's a protective mother. She sensed danger and charged him.
35:03The tranq wasn't ready and he hurried to load it and missed.
35:05Tanya shot her. And Layla was able to run away. But they left their casing behind.
35:15Good work, military.
35:17Not too bad yourself.
35:18I had a little help from a very mean woman named Dolores.
35:23Sounds like your type.
35:28Now, Blue did really good today.
35:31Shoot. We have a canine test.
35:35I gotta go.
35:37Come on, Blue.
35:39Good luck.
35:50Hey, Blue.
35:52Hello.
35:52Hi.
35:53Hey.
35:58Heard you caught the bad guys.
36:00Heard you found the pups.
36:02It's nice work.
36:03And for my reward, King calls me in to grow me.
36:06You keep going back to Whispering Pines with no regard for what King says.
36:12I know you.
36:14And you would not jeopardize your career for a climb.
36:20You don't want to tell me.
36:21Fine.
36:23But I know something is wrong.
36:29I gotta get going.
36:39Come on.
36:40Come on.
36:46Larson.
36:48Yes.
36:48Sorry. We're just on our way.
36:52All right, buddy.
36:54You ready to be part of the team?
36:56Ow! Ow!
36:59Come on, buddy.
37:25You're not making this easy on me.
37:29You're not making this easy on me.
37:35You're not making this easy.
37:36All right, buddy.
37:36Let's go.
37:40Let's go.
37:45Let's go.
37:46Let's go.
37:51Let's go.
37:52Let's go.
37:54Let's go.
37:57Let's go.
37:59Why do you keep going to Whispering Pines?
38:20Okay.
38:21Keep quiet.
38:22You can kiss your NPS career goodbye.
38:25In fact, I might even get you pulled from SAR.
38:28Some things are bigger than this NPS job.
38:32Bigger than SAR.
38:33Like what, Miller?
38:39It's up to you.
39:05Okay, buddy.
39:07It's the moment of truth.
39:11Ready?
39:13Come on.
39:25Hey.
39:26Hey.
39:28Thanks for coming by.
39:29Yeah.
39:30Have a seat.
39:41Okay, buddy.
39:42Are you ready to do this thing?
39:46Let's do it.
39:48Okay, wait.
39:52Wait.
39:59Tunnel, tunnel, tunnel.
40:06I'm ready for it.
40:10Nice!
40:11Jump!
40:20Jump!
40:22Jump!
40:24Jump!
40:24I dropped a rock from where she slipped and fell and it hit the ledge directly below and bounced
40:30right off the mountain for the fatal fall.
40:33Then I threw another rock a bit further out
40:36And it cleared that ledge
40:38Didn't even touch it
40:40Just a straight fall right to the bottom
40:43It didn't hit me until I did another search and rescue
40:46To an accident similar to Claire's
40:49If you slip and fall, you sustain multiple injuries
40:52Going down the side of the mountain
40:54At least from the ridge where Claire fell from
40:56And Claire didn't have any of those
41:00Her injuries were completely clean
41:11Bella doesn't add up
41:21There's no way
41:22She just slipped and fell
41:27That means someone else was there
41:32But who?
41:50Congratulations
41:51Oh, yes
41:53Nice
41:55Nice work, buddy
41:57Buddy, we did it
42:00Good job
42:02Good job
42:08Bill, we need to tell Jody
42:12No, I don't know
42:14She's had a hard enough time with this already
42:18Thank you
42:27Jody's gonna have to find out the truth
42:29Sooner or later
42:31She's already on to me
42:33She knows I'm lying to her
42:36She's too good of a detective
42:39I hear you
42:42But how do I tell her
42:45We think her mother didn't fall
42:50But that she might have been murdered
42:59How do we tell her that?
43:08To her
43:09How do we tell her
43:09We don't know
43:10We don't know
43:10We don't know
43:10Who knew
43:11We don't know
43:11We don't know
43:12And how do we tell her
43:15All are all
43:25We don't know
43:26What you want
43:27How do we tell her
