- Ten-hut!

Grab your hunting pack. We're leaving at 0700.

This view never gets old, does it?

No matter how many times you see it.

Ah, don't go anywhere near those.

These are death cap mushrooms. The name ain't kidding.

Eat one of those, you'll be wearing a toe tag real quick

unless someone's got a brand-new liver

lying around for you.

- - : Blake. Blake.

: Blake.

Did you hear what I just said?

Yes, sir.

What did I say?

Don't eat the mushrooms.

What are they called?

Uh...

See, this is what I'm talking about-- you're not hearing me.

You're off in your own goddamn world somewhere.

This place is beautiful. It's also dangerous.

You can survive if you know exactly what to do.

Yes, sir.

People get taken from you-- -- like that.

It's not hard to die.

It's the easiest thing in the world.

We are all...

inches away from it.

And I'm not always gonna be around to watch over you,

but I'm gonna make damn sure that you know

-how to survive as... -

: Blake.

Blake.

You know you need to stay near me.

Right fucking next to me, boy!

If you don't do what I say, you get hurt.

Do you want to get hurt?! Huh?

Do you want to get hurt?!

No, sir, I don't. I just...

I wanted to get a better shot at the deer.

Get up in that deer blind.

Now.

Cover your ears.

What was it, Dad?

A bear.

They're all over this side of the valley.

Pick yourself up, and let's go

while there's still some light left.

[motor chugging and squeaking rhythmically]

Kiel 714, this is Lovell 819.

Kiel 714, this is Lovell 819.

Kiel 714, this is Lovell 819. Do you read me?

Where in the hell are you, Dan?

What is it, Grady?

Dan.

I saw it.

Saw what?

You know what I'm talking about.

That hiker?

The face of the wolf?

Dan, it's real.

I had it in my scope.

I almost shot it.

Grady, what is the point

in going up that mountain after dark

looking for something that doesn't want to be found?

I wasn't looking for it.

I was hunting deer down by the river.

And it came after my boy.

I'm gonna get it, Dan.

And you got to come with me.

Don't you want to keep your boy safe?

- -

Can we get some ice cream?

Please? Please, please, please, please, please, please...

I got you a hot chocolate at the museum.

That's not a dessert.

That's a drink.

Oh, I think it's dessert, missy.

Well, did you know you're the best dad in the whole world?

Yeah, I'm sure the timing of that

has nothing to do with the ice cream.

It doesn't. I just wanted to tell you.

I'm serious.

Eh, this feels very transactional.

I don't know what that means.

Hey, get down.

Ginger.

Get down right now.

Okay, that's it, no ice cream

in three, two, one.

No, the dog don't jump off the motherfucking leash!

-Hey, hey, hey. -

I told you to get down.

Why didn't you listen to me, damn it?

Why didn't you listen to me?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I lost my temper.

That's not me.

I don't want to be like that.

I just need you to listen when I tell you something.

'Cause what's my job?

To keep your daughter safe.

Yeah. That's right.

And what's your job?

To read minds.

Can you guess what I'm thinking right now?

"I love my little girl."

That's amazing.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

How do you do that every time?

You're so good at your job.

Okay.

I'm sorry. You scared me, okay?

-You owe me a dollar. -Why?

Because you sweared.

No, I didn't. You're hearing things.

I'm not, Daddy. You sweared.

[slow jazz music playing in distance]

Okay, now let me put some on you.

Oh, my God. Okay, do it quickly.

-Beautiful. -Mm-hmm. Good?

-Yeah. -How's this?
