- Previously on "The Hunting Party"...

- It's called the Pit. It's home to the most

dangerous and violent criminals in history,

all of whom the world believes are dead.

Or at least it was until the blast hit.

- I didn't serve, and I haven't been in the field.

That was the first time I've ever drawn a weapon.

You were impressive.

- Are you gonna ask me out, or what?

No.

Maybe.

- You really think Lazarus attacked Cyrus's convoy?

I do.

We still don't have proof.

Well, we need to find some.

- You know what else I love about this city?

About Boulder? - Yeah, what?

The cops on bicycles.

How intimidating is that?

All right, pull over.

Ching, ching, ching, ching.

What do they do when they arrest somebody?

All right, in the basket.

You can always tell the rookie cops.

They're the ones with playing cards in their spokes.

Halt!

Diggy, diggy, diggy, diggy.

Well, thank you, folks.

Hope you have a wonderful evening.

Say goodbye, Marvin.

Goodbye, Marvin.

You've been great.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Great crowd tonight, kid.

Break a leg.

- Or a string. -

All right, all right.

Please welcome to the stage our next performer--

a debut, in fact.

Put your hands together for Dylan Myles and Lil Barney.

Hello.

This is--this is Barney.

I'm Dylan.

So, um, Barney,

what did you do last weekend?

I met a girl.

Didn't go very well.

Oh, no.

What happened, Barney?

- She said I was too stiff. -

W-what? Um--

Why?

I mean,

why did she think you were too stiff?

- Because I'm made of wood, dummy.

- Bring Marvin back out, yeah?

Looks like someone--

like someone--

Get off the stage, loser.

- Somebody should teach that guy a lesson.

- I was thinking the same thing.

Want to hear a joke?

What's black and blue

and red all over?

You are.

- I'd be interested in eating Thai,

maybe Italian, something like--

- It doesn't matter what we think we know about Lazarus.

Without definitive proof that she was involved

in the attack on the convoy, we have nothing.

- Then we get something. -

Hey, she's way too smart to leave a paper trail.

- Well, anything she does have--

flash drives, hard copies, whatever--

they'd be stashed at her place, which...

only one of us has access to.

Mm.

So what are you gonna do?

Invite yourself over and search her place

while she burns another lasagna?

- Shane, this is way too risky. No.

- Why does dinner need to be at her place?

If Shane invites her out somewhere,

you two can go in, have a look around

while he keeps her occupied.

- I mean, I can text her right now.

I'll have eyes on her the whole time.

I can text you guys when we're leaving,

make sure you got plenty of time to get out.

All right, fine.

All right.

Done.

Go for Hassani.

Hey, are you sure?

Of course.

- That was Peck. We got work.

What have we got?

- Puppet maker was shot in his workshop

near Rapid City, South Dakota.

Did you say puppet maker?

I sure did.

- We don't have crime scene photos yet,

but that's our victim, Nicholas Fletcher.

He's currently in a medically-induced coma,

but fingerprints at the scene match Pit inmate H71.

Ah, Dylan Myles.

- You want to take it from here?

- Yeah. Believe it or not,

our fugitive killer here, Mr. Myles,

was actually an aspiring comedian.

- Of course, because murder is hilarious.

Mm.

As a kid, he was diagnosed with delayed language development

and selective mutism.

He was completely non-verbal until nearly ten years old.

- That must have been tough on the playground.

- The real breakthrough happened when he started

communicating through one of his sister's dolls,

a common form of projective play.

As he matured, he developed the capacity

to communicate for himself, but he still felt

more comfortable speaking through his proxies.

- But when did he go from talking dolls to murder?

June 5, 2015.

- Dylan would perform at small comedy clubs

all over the Midwest.

All of his victims were people who

heckled him during the show.

He'd wait for a month or even up to a year

before enacting revenge.

I can really see the anger.

And the humiliation.

All he wanted was to connect with people through his act,

which is why when he got teased or heckled,

he would return the humiliation he felt on the victims tenfold,

which is why a lot of the crime scenes

happened in a public place.

He wanted his victims to be seen.

He wanted them to be remembered

in their final moments of indignity.

- Says here he killed seven victims

over a two-year period.

Is there any chance Dylan knew this dollmaker guy

from back in the day? - We're looking into it.

Get going to the crime scene.

We'll send you what we find.

Ah.

Hello?

We're closed.

Excuse me.

W-who are you?

I'm a big fan of your work.
