Wolf Man

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.

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?

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.

Okay, now let me put some on you.

Oh, my God. Okay, do it quickly.

- Beautiful. - Mm-hmm. Good?

- Yeah. - How's this?

You look creepy.

You mean like this?

- You mean like this, Ginger? - Dad.

No, uh, yeah. No, I get that.

Okay, go sit at the table.

No, but I-I have, I have a second source.

One minute.

Well, are you gonna ship it

or you gonna let the Times scoop us again?

- Hi. - Hi, Mommy.

Well, so we have a deal then?

What... This is bullshit.

You've never asked for this before.

Uh, in the time it takes to do all of this,

we could've gotten ahead of everybody.

But I just don't think we need to do it.

I promise from now on. Can you just get it online?

- Take that in the other room. - Shh.

I shouldn't be doing this.

Are you doing it or not?

Charlotte, can you take that in the other room?

Listen, I-I know what I'm doing.

You know I know because you taught me how to do it.

Goodbye, Charlotte.

Okay. Bye.

Can you, um...

Can you not do that, please?

What did I do?

I was having an important conversation with my editor.

Yeah, 'cause you're the only one

that has important stuff going on, right?

I'm not busy at all.

If I ever have kids, I'm never gonna fight in front of them.

We're not fighting, honey.

We're having a spirited exchange.

Okay.

So, um...

I just found out my dad has been finally declared deceased.

Officially, by the state of Oregon.

Um, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

How do you feel?

I mean, we knew this letter was coming one day.

But the finality of it...

Yeah, I don't know, it's still shocking.

Yeah.

Are you sad, Daddy?

I am, yeah.

I'm sad about a lot of things.

I wish I'd known him better.

But he always made me afraid of him,

so as soon as I was old enough, I left.

We hadn't spoken in a long time

because I chose not to.

Um, and now that I can't speak to him...

I suddenly want to.

The whole day.

No way. The whole thing felt ridiculous, you know?

Oh.

I'll catch up with you guys later.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

This is a surprise.

I brought you some lunch.

Thank you.

We haven't done this in a while.

Yeah.

Are you happy, Charlotte?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Are-are you?

Why-why are you asking me that?

Because I don't think we're doing well right now.

I came here because

when I got that letter...

it dawned on me

that you and Ginger are the only family that I have left.

We have such a short amount of time with people.

I just want us to enjoy each other

and try to be happy as a family while we are here.
