- I'm just warming up.

When you fire your weapon,

you frighten the game.

They're already frightened.

That's why they're being hunted.

You forgetting something?

Your brass.

That's your job.

You been hunting long?

Probably before you were

wearing Huggies, kid.

Your Steyr looks brand-new.

Well, I take care of my equipment.

Sounds like you have other people do it.

I'm no amateur, okay, kid?

And I've got the horns to prove it.

Rhino, elephant...

Trophies, huh?

So that's your thing?

Well, it sure isn't for the

company or the frills.

There ain't no greater exercise in boredom.

But you're right. I...

I bought this baby special when

I landed my bighorn permit.

Been waiting to fill that last

little space on the wall.

- You get a gender exemption?

- Yeah, dulled male only.

You mind if I just

double-check that permit?

You know what the odds are for

landing a bighorn license?

I sure do.

10 years.

10 years I've been trying to get one.

That seemed to satisfy your sheriff.

No, no, right. You know,

it's more time and...

you got your family business to maintain.

A tough economy.

All right, just Ben.

Meter's running.

You see anything?

Best tracker in the county, huh?

Well, the job is easier if you're quiet.

This may have been the easiest

money you ever made, buddy.

No! Oh, my God.

Jesus Christ, no! No.

- Charlie.

- God damn it.

Where'd he come from?

Jesus Christ.

God Almighty. Oh, Christ.

Is he dead?

Oh, God Almighty.

- Did you know him?

- Yeah, my whole life.

Okay. Okay.

- We need to take him to town.

- What?

- We need to take him to town, all right?

- All right, here.

All right, I'll... I'll stay with him.

- Jesus.

- All right.

- Stay there. - Oh, Jesus Christ.

Sh*t.

Hey, listen, I'm in a

shitstorm here, all right?

It might jeopardize the deal,

so listen up.

I pay you for options, all right?

So give me one!

Look, just close the

goddamn deal, all right?

Don't say anything about this...

and I'll fix it.

What's going on?

Ben, the situation is... more

complicated than you think.

See, my competition,

they'll destroy me if

they find out about this.

I employ 862 people.

This is not only about me.

This is about them and their families.

Well, are they still gonna keep their jobs

if you sell the company to the Chinese?

Let me ask you a question.

What will the law think when they find

two different bullets in the same body?

They might think whoever shot this

man didn't do it accidentally.

'Cause you sure can't shoot

a man accidentally twice.

What did you do?

I mean, you can't frame me for this.

I mean,

there'll be an investigation.

You know that.

Nobody cares about this man.
