So what does he make of that?

He showed a trick.

That's one of his games.

And now what?

We got unpacking, I guess.

Im get on the radio

keep talking sometimes.

Just like we're getting ready

to open the file back up?

Yeah, now, we just try to keep it

from falling apart.

Uh...

This morning I came from.

Jessica had been that you got this.

and I thought that you probably

wanted to have that.

That was that last day, wasn't it?

The last time I saw her alive.

I can't really believe

they're gone, you know.

Such a freak accident.

Well, they never should have

built that dam against me.

Her and her father knew it's dangerous work, but they loved it.

And she loved working with you.

You're-- You're my family.

and I will be with you.

- Probably you could come with me?

- I can't.

Now I'm just thinking

keeping your heir.

I know. I've thought about it,

but Jessica and her dad

are buried here, and...

Now it's just... giving me

a little peace in mind,

to be near them.

Doc, Sheriff Sheppard,

Is he there?

Doc, it's Jack.

- I--

- I forgot that.

Wait, Darby. When you pull out tonight.

Would you come by here?

I have some family stopping by,

and they would love to meet you.

Oh.

I wish I could, but got a trailer and...

I want something in Pineview

before it dark.

- Doc, you're sure the Sheriff Deputy there?

- I-I gotta go.

Listen. You-you

take care of yourself. Okay?

And, uh,

And please stay in touch.

I'm to call you,

as soon as I get settled.

- Jack, Darby, what's up?

- Are you still in town?

Yeah, not much longer. Why?

Uh,

I'm talking to test some blood samples,

you can tell me if it's human or animal.

Thanks for a lot of confidence, Jack.

But, uh, qualified medics.

Besides, I don't

really have any equipment.

Improvise.

It's important.

Why do it haste, Jack?

I can't really say.

I'm getting out of here, am I, Jack?

All right, meet me at the camp site

and see what I can do.

Stuart is already underway.

Harvey.

Do you think you can

get on the radio,

checking whenever you can,

see you've seen or heard anything?

All right, yeah.

Stay in here.

So I think it's such a night, sir.

An op is too specific,

we have the boy.

No sympathetic in anyway.

You got a deal.

- Where are the walkies?

- Packed up like everything else.

Where are you going?

He left a lot of blood I get to see

it leads to anywhere.

You want me to

come in today, were you?

We're just going to leave.

Is it going to work?

- This came from one person?

- Off one person.

As far as I can tell,

the blood of three humans.

What the hell is going on?

I don't know. But whatever it is,

it's just going to have a lot of work.
