Original subtitles

I'm so excited for cooking.

Oh, yeah.

I can't wait.

I hope we can use some herbs.

Yeah, what about mushrooms?

You think we can find some mushrooms today?

I mean, this is nice.

Are you going to make brownies tonight, or are you just going to... I want... I

think I'm going to do brownies.

So, how do you want to... Do you want to go first, or do you want me to go

first? You go first.

Hey, what is it?

Is this where we found those mushrooms last night?

Yeah.

I think chanterelles are in people.

Oh, let's get some of those for dinner. I think I see some mushrooms.

Wait, really?

Hey, so I think I got an idea for dinner tonight.

Really? What is it? I'm thinking Italian.

Yes, my favorite.

Yeah, I think if we find like a variety of mushrooms, we can like totally mix it

up with the dressing or the sauces.

What kind of sauces are you thinking about?

I'm thinking about cream.

Oh, that's awesome.

Can we make some garlic bread too?

Oh, hell yeah.

Do you still have that recipe from your mom?

Yes.

Whole cookbook.

Awesome. Let's definitely use that.

What if we made some chicken and topped it with mushrooms?

That would be good too.

You know, I'm not having any luck finding mushrooms over here.

Maybe we should move.

Try over there?

Yeah, maybe over here.

Wow, got enough wood?

This fire is not putting out tonight.

What, are you scared of the dark?

Well, we're in bear country.

Yeah, I don't know if we get time to do that eventually.

Yeah, well, maybe that'd be really cool.

Yeah.

You know, it's getting kind of late. Do you think it's time to turn in maybe

later?

Yeah, I'm good with that.

Did you

hear

that? Yeah, I did.

Hey, bear.

It's not gonna do shit.

Here we go.

I

don't

know what to do.

Hey, this is Sheriff Bud O 'Brien out of Harmony Falls.

Am I speaking to, uh, Mr. Ian?

Ian McDiarmid?

Yeah. Doctor.

McDiarmid.

What? I... Sorry. What do you want?

Didn't you and that Japanese fellow find an extinct fish a while back?

Kinda... Kinda made you famous for that sort of thing?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That Japanese belly so eloquently referred to.

The world -renowned Dr.

Mitsuru Matsumoto of the University of Nagasaki.

Yep, that's the fella.

And that fish is a black -finned coelacanth.

Prehistoric.

It was thought to be extinct until...

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

And who wants to know?

If I owe you money, you're going to have to stand in line.

No, you don't owe me any money.

It's me who maybe wants to hire you as an expert consultant, if you'd be

willing. We're up here at Harmony Falls around Mount St. Helens.

St. Helens.

Hire me.

For?

For how much? I mean, I get...

$2 to $3 .50 a day.

That's if I'm interested.

And available.

For what, exactly?

It says here in this magazine I'm looking at, you call yourself a

Crypto. Crypto. I'm a crypto duo.

I have degrees. I've studied extensively.

Archaeology, paleontology, biology.

A Ph .D. in zoology.

Well, Dr. McDermott, let's just get to the point. I've been dealing with a

series of investigations involving disappearances of locals, hikers,

animals being mauled in ways that...

Usually there's perfectly logical explanations for these things.

Just the attacks, the marks, the stories, crazy

stories told by people that I've known for years. It just doesn't make sense.

One thing that I can tell you is... I'm adding zero to the pressure. See,

Sheriff, if not the usual suspects, what do you think

is behind...

Well, what's causing all of your problems?

Well, I can't really rule out a bear, cougar, pack of wild dogs. I don't know.

I'm hoping once you get up here poking around, you'll be able to find something

that we missed.

I just pray to God it's not some lunatic psycho running around here.

You don't think you have something to see?

Nah, not in my town. It's just... I'm on it.

That's fine.

I understand. I can't guarantee that I'll come up with anything more than

you have already.

Regardless, no refund.

All right. Roger that.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hello. Hi.

Sheriff's Department said that you were expecting me.

Oh, I have been, yes.

You have a spot right up here on the left.

Thank you very much.

You must be Ian.

Bud said to head on back.

Ian, come on in.

It's okay if I call you Ian.

We're not really too formal around these parts.

You must be Sheriff O 'Brien.

Yeah.

Bud O 'Brien.

Pleasure to meet you.

Just call me Bud.

This here's my right hand and half my left.

Deputy Charlie Redtail.

You can just call him Charlie. Deputy Redtail, fine.

Well, Charlie here, he thinks I've gone crazy bringing you on board with it.

All due respect, Mr. McDermott, I think we could use FBI profilers or

professional trackers.

Better than we could use some guy who hates cryptids.

Cryptids?

Someone's done their homework?

Yeah, Charlie here is an educated man.

Is that a special forces?

Sheriff, you were a Green Beret.

Straight out of Fort Bragg.

Did some time in Afghanistan, and before that, he was the best football player

to ever come out of me, too.

We know our football.

Impressive.

Speaking of football, Jeremy's got a game today, bud.

They're playing Kalama, so I should probably get out of here.

All right. Tell your boy to give him hell for me. Will do.

Mr. McDermott?

Folks take your football pretty serious around here, huh?

Also, looks like you're one hell of a bowler.

Well, you know that song.

Glory days will pass you by.

Yeah. Don't they know it?

Well, Charlie, boy, he's the hell of a quarterback.

Got a great arm.

Once played college ball, but I think he's a bit too small.

He's only a junior, so maybe he'll fill out.

Hey, what do you say we go grab a bite to eat? Kind of go around over some of

the stuff that's going on around here.

What do you say?

Yeah, sounds good.

All right.

Let's go ahead and go out the back way.

I'm pretty liable in there.

Better take these in case you need them.

I'm curious for this thing to get caught.

Get the hell back!

Mike does not know how to dance.

We're going to lose this place. It's going to be torn to shreds. And you guys

are done.

Come on, guys. Take a break.

You know who he

is, darling?

That there's Fabian Supersonic Gray.

Rising star.

Prize fighter in the world of mixed martial arts.

Run with a rough crowd.

Might prove to be the kid's undoing.

And that highly capable lawman there, I know who he is too,

by reputation.

That there is Sheriff Bud O 'Brien.

Practically a legend around here.

From what I heard, he's a bit of a champion in his own rights.

Like I told you, I'm a sportsman.

On my trail, a gambler by trade.

I come up here for the fishing now and then.

Well, you hear stories.

Now, darling, if the sheriff's cannon remains holstered,

These two go at it.

They're coming.

Vegas would have the kid as the odds -on favorite.

Me?

From what I've heard, half of it's true.

I'd have my money on him.

Yeah.

It's not worth it.

Hey, listen up.

Everybody pay your bill.

And damages.

I'll arrest everybody.

What the hell, bud?

We didn't start nothing.

But these damn bikers are the start of this shit.

My butt's dead.

Money on the bar.

Bullshit. Fucking money.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, greatly appreciated.

Hey, Ken, would it be okay if we still got a bite to eat?

You're kidding.

Of course you can. You really saved my ass tonight, bud.

You have a seat, and it's on the house, but I'll tell you what, bud.

I like his hat. It'll be on the house anyway.

I'm going to get Grace out here and take your order. All right. Thanks, guys.

Why didn't they?

It's pretty sweet out there, bud.

We got ourselves a real walker type of stranger.

Doing my job, Gracie.

What can I get for you guys? I know you'll be wanting some of Sally's

You know it.

How about you, Ian?

I'll have a whiskey cola.

And according to the sheriff, I need to get the meatloaf.

All right.

I'll have any light beer you got on there. All right, I'll go grab those

for you. All right, thank you.

You gotta be kidding me.

What the fuck is that?

Anyone there?

After Afghanistan, I became a hand -to -hand instructor.

Never leaves you.

Thank you.

Let's cut to the chase.

I'd like you to go up to the mountain with me tomorrow.

Well, it is why I'm here, right?

I want to check out where the hikers are last known to be seen.

I was thinking about that.

It's got to be a large bear.

Cougar.

You don't really think it could be a murder?

This is meatloaf for you guys. Can I get you anything?

Some steak sauce, maybe?

I'd love some hot sauce.

All right.

Can I get a Diet Coke, please?

Yeah, sure. All right. Hey, thanks.

Pepper sauce.

Good choice.

Like mother's milk around here.

A lot of Cajuns in these hills.

Mostly Native American and Frenchies.

Except for their sheriff, O 'Brien.

Not exactly French.

Last I checked, he wasn't Native American either.

Bigfoot, Doc.

Bigfoot.

Hey,

Doc. Rob okay?

Going up to your place now.

Yeah, it's open.

An ambulance is on its way.

They'll transport him to Woodland, if he makes it that far.

From there, a live flight into Portland, Harborview Medical Center, probably.

I dosed him heavy. I didn't want him to flatline.

I'm shocked in the pain.

Loaded him up on antibiotics, too.

What'd he say?

A lot of things, but it didn't really make any sense.

Said it was Bigfoot.

Speaking of, this is Dr. Ian McDermott.

He's not a medical doctor, he's a PhD.

He's here to help me to figure out what's going on with all this shit.

Ian, call me Doc.

Everybody does.

Doc, do you have a tape measure, ruler, or something like that?

Oh, I suppose I do.

Why?

Well, he's going to take the measurement.

I'm not going to touch him.

I just want to measure his wound.

Look at his neck and shoulder.

Looks like some kind of bite.

Yeah, let me go see if I can find that tape measure.

I was a post -grad.

I got to work at the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo.

Got to see all the bite imprints of every apex predator in the region.

Doesn't look like anything I've ever seen.

You know, in my time I've hunted just about everything.

I've seen it all.

This reminds me of one hell of a large dog bite.

It was marked.

Looked like the markings of a bear claw.

I can only think of one animal in all of North America that's got a jaw

structure.

Has a bite, anything resembling that.

I'm all ears.

Well, it's not right for a big cat.

And it's not a bear.

It's a large dog.

I might not be wrong.

One hell of a canid.

Canis lupus, if I had to guess.

Oh, a wolf?

We haven't had a sighting of a wolf around here in probably a hundred years.

Yeah, well, I'll do you one better.

I'd say it's an Alaskan timber wolf.

The largest subspecies of the gray wolves.

You know, it'd be unknown to snap the femur in half of an elk or a caribou

one bite.

Wow.

Maybe it could be one of those wolf hybrids.

Someone takes it home, can't handle it, ends up taking it out to the woods.

It'd be a lot easier than having a serial killer around here.

Ian, here's that tape measure.

I had to tear it my way to the park to find that.

Hey Doc, you got a pen and paper?

Uh, yeah, around here somewhere.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Well, these claw marks... That's what they are.

Could be a very large black bear.

Well, you know, let's get going. Take you back to the rig.

You, me, and Charlie are heading up to the cave tomorrow.

I think Doc's got this.

Ambulance is on the way.

I think we're all going to be fine.

Pretty tough.

Yeah.

Doc, I'm sorry about your friend.

I wish that we could have met under better circumstances.

Indeed. Indeed.

Hey Doc, I'll get his red pill back to my place tonight.

Let me know what's going on. I'd appreciate it.

Will do. Thanks, bud. Bye.

Yeah, Ian, I am on my way. I will be there shortly.

Okay. Thank you.

Charlie's going to meet us up at the caves.

That's the place those hikers were seen.

Closed down right now.

Closed down.

Is there a crime scene?

No, not as of yet.

There was a pretty good earthquake a couple days ago.

The caves are unstable right now, so we have to shut them down.

Nothing like 1980 though.

I'll never understand why anybody would live next to an active volcano.

Yeah.

Why does anybody want to live by the beach?

Tsunamis? No.

Why does anybody want to live in the Midwest?

Tornadoes?

Can't live for what might happen.

I suppose not.

Living out here in the mountains, hunting, fishing, fresh air, lake,

pristine.

Love it.

Better not.

You know, I googled you the other day.

You had to bury your wife and daughter.

Some asshole drunk driver.

Yeah, it's been rough.

I try not to wear the ring anymore, but it just doesn't feel right.

What about you? You've got a ring.

Yeah.

Jan passed two years ago.

Cervical cancer.

Sorry.

I, uh... I... I don't... I try not

to wear my ring, but I'm on my way back, I'm in danger every time.

So I was thinking about the bar.

What happened last night.

I took a gamble not pulling your weapon.

Also, I know a rat.

were assaulted.

Let me tell you a secret.

Small town can probably accommodate two or three perps, that's it.

How am I supposed to find which one to arrest?

I don't know.

Is that an example? Maybe a bike gang leader.

If they arrest Chop, bikers are going to tear my town apart.

I arrest the bikers and the loggers both they're gonna tear each other apart

inside the jail.

Either way, it's not gonna turn out good.

Hey. I noticed your girlfriend showed up.

Heard her run last night.

Jeremy kicked some ass.

Yeah, he played well.

But I'm more concerned with Robert.

What happened to him, bud?

What's the play?

Charlie, you guys head down to the small cave.

I think you mean the big cave.

No, Ms. Stewart's already set up at the big cave.

Once she sees that do not cross tape, she's going to be pissed. I want to

her off.

All right, Greg.

We're going to play a shell game with her.

You guys head down there and make sure that she sees you.

Once she picks up stakes and follows you, you guys double back.

All right. Well, we're going to need some headlamps and flashlights, so let's

get them out of the truck.

Hey, I don't mean to interrupt what you're doing.

But you got to be out of here tonight by dusk. Okay. Don't go anywhere near the

caves. Those are off limits.

Sure thing.

All right.

Thank you. Have a nice day. You as well.

Through that, that's how we're done?

Done. Cool. Let's go.

Hey, if you guys are planning on going through the caves, they've got them

closed off.

Who else knows about this place?

My people have known about it for generations.

It's been closed for a long time.

Closed? What opened it up?

I'm guessing the same thing that closed it in the first place.

Earthquake.

Great.

Do you know how far back it goes?

Supposedly roughly three miles.

I'm not exactly sure, though.

Careful where you step.

Watch your head.

Starting to get narrow in here.

Should we be wearing hard hats?

If this cave collapses, hard hats are the last thing you're going to need to

worry about.

Fair enough.

Charlie.

Is that what I think it is?

Bone.

Some of them are real old.

They're not so old.

Look at that.

Is that a bear claw?

Almost.

Weird.

Like it came from an opposable song.

I don't want to hear any of that Bigfoot shit.

Look, we got baskets over here.

Shit, yeah, they're human bones.

Bud, we got a crime scene down here.

We're going to need to cordon the area off.

Who was that asshole in the truck?

Oh, that was John Chastel Gavidon.

Some French name.

Sells firewood in the area.

Anyway, those two hikers we found today, turns out they were Senator Skip

Warner's daughter and son -in -law.

Sorry, the media's climbing up my cave.

Sounds uncomfortable.

You have no idea.

Well, that claw that I found today.

You have Jenny overnight at Tahilic Tech, Vancouver, B .C.

I have a friend up there, Matt, that can do a full DNA spectrum analysis for me.

Yeah, no problem. Whatever you need.

I have no idea if it has anything to do with those missing hikers.

Whatever predator set up a den in those caves.

I don't know.

Might be pulling human remains in from accidents in the woods.

Or maybe it is the accident.

The media, our new friend, Marshall Stewart, thinks you're a geologist.

Keep the human remains on a down low.

What'd you say that Apple block name was again?

Uh, Gaviton.

Why?

I don't think it sounds really familiar.

Wouldn't have wanted us out of the area today if they weren't trying to hide

something.

I mean, maybe, but I called them last week and they are earthquake from the

area. I don't think that matters.

Did you see that guy that was with the deputy and the sheriff today?

He said he was a geologist, right?

Turns out he's a private investigator.

Okay. What makes you think he's going to work or talk to you?

Well, I'm a delightful person. Thanks for asking.

Speak of the devil.

What can I get for you?

You know, whiskey cola.

Um, and a steak.

All done.

Alright, I'll have that right out for you.

Um, about one minute.

I'm gonna need you to...

Stand up and call me a bitch. I'm going to do the sympathy card.

Done. I get the keys, right?

Of course.

We're going. All right.

All right. Take care, you dumb bitch.

Have fun being a diva in hell.

Fuck off.

I'm so sorry. It's, I... It's fine. My shoes, I... Here. Have a seat.

Are you sure?

Okay, hi.

Hi.

You know, it's not every day that a woman literally falls for me.

You're funny.

You want something to eat? I just ordered.

No, I already ate with my, um... Your cameraman.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm. He just... He doesn't...

believe what we're doing here is anything real, and he thinks he should

pack up and go home, and he's... Seattle.

Yeah.

How is it you know where I'm from and I know next to nothing about you?

Next to nothing?

Well, I have my sources.

What do these sources say?

Well, you're not from around here.

Obviously. And you're some sort of... specialist investigating

the disappearances?

How am I doing?

I don't know.

Am I the doer?

K -A -T -W -N -E -N -E -N -E -N -E -N -E -N -E -N?

Buy you a drink?

That would be nice.

Mom won't be here till later.

But Dad could be here any time. So let's get out of here.

Where to?

How about the falls?

I thought it would be a very beautiful place to go hang out.

I heard it might be a full moon or something like that.

But your dad told you to stay away from that area.

You know, it could be such -and -such on the prow.

Or a crazy, bloodthirsty madman.

Yeah, right.

Bring a flashlight.

A knife. A protective.

Come on. Let's go. Let's go hop on my claws.

Okay, Romeo.

You know, I've actually never been here before.

You've never been here before?

It's so damn beautiful.

It's just like you.

Oh, thank you.

There's a cave over there. Let's go check it out.

The water tank dropped off again late and headed back to the yard.

Holy shit! What the hell?

God damn hell.

What the hell?

There's a truck! There's a truck! Get his attention! Please help!

No, no, I'll be right there.

Does your deputy know?

Okay.

Good.

Yeah, here.

I gotta go.

What's going on? Is there a problem?

No, no.

I gotta go.

Well, I mean, if you get bored later, I'll be here.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, cancel that steak.

I don't want to share it tomorrow.

Night.

Yeah, no Charlie. I have I have Jeremy here with me Now he's he's banged up,

it's really not as bad as it looks.

I'll get it cleaned up. We'll put a few sutures Wrap them up Nothing's broken.

He'll be fine

Hey, how you

doing? I'm doing okay.

Tell me what's going on.

Katie and me

He's up at the falls.

There's a cave there now.

Oh, I've heard.

Go on.

Whatever was in that cave came right after us.

Get a good look at it.

What I saw, I'm not sure.

It was a bear, though. No, it wasn't a bear. It was a monster. Why would you

listen to me?

Take a deep breath.

Just relax.

Tell me what's going on.

I don't know.

It looked like a giant...

Rolf.

I think I hit it straight on just before I seen him.

It was big by the jolt.

Could have been a bear. Hell, at first I figured it was an elk.

I don't know.

So you hit it?

Yeah. I want to take a look at your truck. Alright.

I'm coming with.

The boy seems like a good kid.

Take it easy on him.

The boy's bike is just before the turn of the falls.

Pretty much out of sight.

Alright, thanks. I'll take care of that in the morning.

I'll talk to Charlie, too.

Holy

shit.

I'm sure the guy's going to love this.

Well, there's fur and there's blood.

One hell of a mess.

I'm going to take a sample. Can you hold this?

Sure.

Sounds like someone's done that before.

Sounds like someone watched too much CSI.

Can you give this to Jenny first thing in the morning?

Have her send it to the same lab I sent the claws.

They'll get a hold of me as soon as they have the result.

Copy that.

Thank you.

I miss Seattle.

I mean,

the sheriff won't talk to me, which is fine.

Then he gets a deputy to turn his entire fucking department against the news.

Damn it.

Crypto...whateverologist.

The mountain hit.

Shit.

Charlie. Charlie.

Ian. Charlie, come here.

Ian. Look at that.

We'll get to it. Look at those prints.

We'll get to it. No, they're too big.

They're too big to read. Okay, hey, I need you to go to the truck. Go to the

truck. Turn the lights off. Don't touch anything.

Go.

Go!

I need you to call a corner.

And you want a drink?

Yeah.

Can I use your laptop?

Yeah.

What's the password?

St. Helens. Helens, of course.

You know, when I was at the bar with Bud the other day, I was thinking... He was

telling me a lot about...

This area, of course, there's the Cowlitz tribe.

He was telling me all about the legends.

Most of them I already knew.

Sasquatch, for example.

They also have a legend about shapeshifters often turning into wolves.

So when he said the French...

He said one particular word.

Gévaudan.

Gévaudan is a province in France.

Most notable in my field for the man -eating wolves

that were hunted for over five years.

One particular hunter, critically injured, took out the last of them.

His name...

Gévaudan.

The fella that lives above Harmony Falls.

Jean Castel.

Gévaudan. Jean Castel.

Gévaudan.

We're swerving into cryptozoology territory again, aren't we?

Alright, believe what I believe or not believe what I believe.

He could be a lycanthrope.

A lycanthrope.

It's a mental disorder.

A person believes that they are a werewolf. They act like a werewolf.

They commit violence like a werewolf.

Like a copycat killer.

Exactly.

So he's a copycat.

Sean Castell.

Well, he's a person of interest.

And I don't think we can skip checking him out, so... Yeah.

There's one thing.

You're not going to like it.

I want one from Silver.

Ian, if you're even halfway right about what's going on, and a man like

Chester... He's responsible for Bun.

We're going to need some heavy artillery.

Superstition is not my thing, Ian.

Regardless, bullets are going to kill it one way or the other. So I got some

stuff here at the store.

I'm going to pick it up.

We'll head to old Sharpeno's.

See what he can make out of it.

Hey, old timer.

I got a kind of a weird request for you.

I got some silver jewelry from my wife's shop. I don't know how pure it is, but

maybe you can melt that down. Make me some .45 caliber rounds.

.45 caliber?

Yeah, yeah. I need it done pretty quick, like today.

All right. Does this have anything to do with going around town?

I don't know.

But I need it done quick and I need to know how much it's going to run me.

Oh.

Charlie, I can have this out in two hours and I'll do it for the stone.

Sounds good to me.

Alright, I appreciate your help.

I'll see you in a couple hours.

Okay.

I can't believe they won't let us in the caves.

What the fuck is a press pass even for, you know?

Fucking town. Everything about it is... hillbilly rednecks.

Can't wait to get back to Seattle.

You know?

Hey, Charlie. Here you go.

That ought to do the trick.

So, uh, tell me.

What are you hunting?

I've heard stories from your grandfather.

Charbonneau.

Ah, that's it. It was the Lougarou.

We gotta get going.

Are you hunting that?

Thanks for your help.

Well, if you are, God be with you.

Did he just say loon?

Oh, fuck, fuck, do you see that?

Oh, my God!

There's a reason I didn't bring my kids with me.

To be fair, the city was just up the hill.

We're on the hill.

We're on the hill.

What's that smell?

That's death.

This cabin's right up here.

Alright, when we go in, you're gonna go to the left around the back of the cabin

in case he runs for it.

I'm gonna walk straight to the front and knock on the door.

John Tresto!

Deputy Redtail!

I'm not here to make trouble, John. I just want to talk.

What's all the blood, John?

Just been fluttering a sow.

Took the clothes off.

To not be messy.

What you want?

I don't see any pigs in there, John.

You got me there.

Last pig I got was your sheriff.

Holy shit!

Ian!

Horrible? What happened to Bud?

Just horrible.

Thank God you and Charlie are okay.

Have you seen the nickel?

Looks like they could use an investigator like you.

Follow me outside.

So, Ian, where's monster hunting got you heading this time?

I don't know.

Someone was telling me I should check out Astoria.

It's a nice little place.

I don't really know how many monsters they got there, but you might find

something.

Hopefully not.

Well, you ever thought about getting yourself a partner?

Partner?

No.

Charlie, I don't think Bud would... I think Bud would want you to have someone
