NARRATOR: Throughout the United States,

there are legends of strange unidentified creatures

stretching back hundreds of years.

This program is a legend brought to life.

It's told through dramatization, eyewitness accounts, and expert

interviews.

Some images are violent in nature.

Viewer discretion is advised.

[theme music]

There's a monster that will come out of the marsh

and grab you up in a heartbeat.

WOMAN: Something is killing animals around here.

Just because you don't believe don't mean you're safe.

Did you hear that?

Oh dear god.

WOMAN: When people go into the swamp, they don't come out.

[growls]

[bursts of crackling noise]

[chilling music]

NARRATOR: A vicious predator is terrorizing

this remote Southern Louisiana town.

Many locals are beginning to blame a legendary swamp beast

they call the Rougarou.

After discovering the body of local man Amos Jagneaux,

fear is turning to terror.

Jacob, Jonah! TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Hold up!

NARRATOR: The Cagin' Beast Animal Control team has set out

on a rescue mission to find two boys lost in the swamp.

Who are you guys?

We're looking for a couple of kids.

They're in a real bad place.

Jacob!

Jonah!

NARRATOR: But disaster strikes when a member of the search

team is found dead.

It's Quentin.

NARRATOR: And Tammany's cousin, Jules, is missing.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Where is he?

MAN: We're going to find him. Stay calm.

Jules!

MAN: Jules!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules!

LUC BAPTISTE: Jules!

Say something, buddy!

Come on, man!

Answer us! TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules!

MAN: Jules!

Call out if you hear us, Jules!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules!

Amos Jagenaux's body in [inaudible] What if he was--

LUC BAPTISTE: He wasn't.

He's going to be fine, all right?

We're going to find him.

Call out if you hear us, Jules!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules!

LUC BAPTISTE: Jules!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules!

Over-- over here!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules!

Over here!

LUC BAPTISTE: Jules.

Jules!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules, Jules.

Jules?

He ain't moving.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Does he have a pulse?

LUC BAPTISTE: He's breathing. TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: OK.

He's breathing.

First aid kit.

Do you have a-- a kit or anything?

Sit up, Jules.

Come on, buddy.

Sit up for me.

Talk to me, Jules.

Say something to me, buddy.

Hey.

Hey, buddy, what you remember?

What y'all doing here?

We're here fixing you up, all right?

Looks like you got you a little cut.

Look at me.

You going to be OK?

Jules, you going to be all right, bud?

I don't know.

Shock is a reaction to an event that is totally

unforeseen and unpredictable.

There can be a retrograde amnesia,

meaning you knew what was going on while it was happening,

but after it happened, the brain, in a defense mechanism,

blocked memory.

Look at me, man.

You know how you got in here?

They can be irrational and begin

to talk gibberish and nonsense.

They can be unpredictable.

They can be aggressive, where they have never been aggressive

before.

He was talking.

He was talking.

Who was talking to you?

We found Quentin.

We found him dead.

He was tore up, about a hundred yards from here.

Come on. Let's get you up.

Let's get you on your feet.

Come on.

[coughs]

LUC BAPTISTE: Got you.

[owl hoots]

[wolf howls]

[wind blows]

Things have been pretty tense lately.

You know, everyone around town is

saying a monster is what is responsible for everything

that's been going on around here.

Now, as the Deputy, you know, I'm

trained to find the human explanation.

And as hard as it is to believe a person is responsible for all

these killings, well, it's the path I've got to follow.

Now everyone's heard we found a giant grave site.

The word is that there were people mixed

in with those animal remains.

But things can get pretty violent down here.

We've got a lot of assaults, armed robberies, murders,

we've got violence of all kinds.

And with everybody not trusting each other,

it's not the calls to the station I'm worried about.

It's those people willing to take matters

into their own hands.

The longer we can't give folks answers about what's going on

down here, more wound up they're getting.

You put these folks in a corner, they're likely to lash out.

MAN (OVER RADIO): [inaudible] Roger, can I have your

[inaudible]?

[police siren]

39 headquarters.

I'm 10-97.

MAN: Gimme that dog.

There's no way in hell--

Mike.

I need you to put down the gun, please.

Mike!

On the ground, please.

[dogs barking]

What's going on? What happened?

This [bleep] is trying to shoot my dog.

Damn dog's going crazy.

She was hiding under-- under my porch.

And when Kristy came out the front door, she charges at it.

This [bleep].

DEPUTY LAMBERT: Did she attack you, son?

- He was about to. - I-- I was just scared.

All the animals here have been--

been going crazy ever since--

Y'all come over here and shout on me.

[interposing voices]

Obviously we all ain't getting along right now.

Kristy, can you bring your husband home?

- Yes, sir. - Make him calm down.

- OK, go. - I look after my family.

- [interposing voices] - Sorry.

I'm sorry, [inaudible].

Look, do me a favor.

Just watch your dog.

We've got animals disappearing left and right around here.

OK?

[sighs] All right.

All right?

You might want to take down that voodoo symbol, too.

I don't know what's gotten into these pets lately,

or their owners, for that matter.

But this is the second call I've been on this month of someone

claiming they were attacked by some kind of possessed dog.

All I know is people around town,

they're getting spooked about everything that's going on,

and they're taking whatever precautions

they deem necessary to protect themselves.

[insects trilling]

We've got people out here practicing voodoo.

Everybody's got their little thing to ward off the Rougarou.

Voodoo is a religion.

And all religions have their talisman.

They're all forms of insurance.

I mean, it's better to have a little insurance, whether you

believe in it or not, and not need it than find out

that you do need it, and you don't have it.

I carry my little gris-gris bag.

There was an old lady that I knew years ago.

I was probably five or six.

We would go to her door, give her a nickel for what

was called a Dixie cup.

A little paper cup filled with real sweet Kool-Aid

that had been frozen.

She was also known to be a hoodoo woman.

During the day, people would cuss her.

But at night, they'd go to her back door for her help.

[echoing screams]

People knew what was good for them,

we'd all been making offerings.

Walking towards [inaudible] it's calling out.

[growling]

LUC BAPTISTE: It's just a gator.

You hear that?

Come on.

Folks, just around the corner.

[hisses]

LUC BAPTISTE: Keep going, buddy.

Jules.

That's it.

That's the one that got me.

JULES D'ENTREMONT: No, no.

LUC BAPTISTE: [inaudible].

Come on, let's keep moving.

I'm not going anywhere.

Well, if he ain't coming without, then just bring it.

Jules is out of his mind right now.

He's not making any sense.

But he needs medical attention right away.

So if letting him have this gator

will shut him up and keep him moving,

well, he can have the damn gator.

Jules, I'm going to get it.

Just keep going.

Tammany, you jump up there.

Hand this over to you.

I can't thank y'all enough.

She'll be fine.

I've seen her handle bigger and badder.

And we'll keep the search up for those boys.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: We've gotta get moving.

Come on, buddy. TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: All right.

Let's keep moving.

Come on.

I'm going to stay here.

What?

All right, if those boys stayed smart

and on guard, I'll find them.

You get a signal or service, you call the Sheriff

and let them know what happened to Quentin.

Tell them where his body is.

It's going to be all right, Jules, all right?

Be strong, buddy.

[bird caws]

[insects trill]

[bird calls]

Just trying to get Jules back to town as fast as we can.

He needs a lot more help than I can get him out here.

And Quentin, we talk about the dangers out here.

I ain't never seen nothing like that.

How you doing?

JULES D'ENTREMONT: I've got to know.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: What?

JULES D'ENTREMONT: The curse.

what

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Are you talking about?

JULES D'ENTREMONT: The Rougarou.

I got the blood in me now.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: The Rougarou ain't real, OK?

Maybe that's what got you, all right?

Remember you told us that?

[engine revs up]

Just hang in there.

Legend is that there's many different ways

to become a Rougarou.

[snarling]

Most believe if you're bitten by one,

you are going to become a Rougarou.

Other people simply believe that if you

have an encounter with one, you may become a Rougarou.

Some believe you've made some kind of deal with the devil,

or someone's put a spell on you.

The belief is that once you're cursed by the Rougarou,

you're going to be cursed for 101 days.

And then, after those 101 days, if you pass the curse

on to someone, legend is that the one you passed it on to

will come back to kill you.

Jacob!

Jonah!

NARRATOR: While searching for two boys

lost in the swamplands--

We've got a body!

NARRATOR: The Cagin' Beast Team finds one crew member dead--

Over here!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Jules!

NARRATOR: And another badly wounded--

He needs stitches.

NARRATOR: But alive.

JULES D'ENTREMONT: I've got it now, the curse.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Hand in there, Jules.

NARRATOR: In desperate need of medical attention,

Jules is being rushed back to town.

JULES D'ENTREMONT: I don't feel so good.

- Hang in there. - I don't feel so good.

Jules?

Whoa, whoa.

What are you-- no.

What are you-- what are you trying for?

- I need the machete. - For what?

I've got to kill it.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: No.

We're not killing it.

You know what?

Screw this.

JULES D'ENTREMONT: Hey, what are you doing?

Oh!

That thing did not attack you.

JULES D'ENTREMONT: God [bleep] it!

[boat engine roars]

[frogs sing]

[birds calling]

Picked up a trail a little ways back,

but it's leading nowhere.

[stick breaks]

You step on a soft patch like that, it's sucking down.

Make you sorry you came out here.

I think I'm going to have to find another way around it.

And I want to find these kids, but this--

this just takes a toll on you.

I'm getting pretty far out.

I can't get across this damn thing.

To tell you the truth, this whole thing kind of

struck a chord with me.

I was younger than these boys.

A couple of my older cousins said we're all going down

to the swamp one night.

Of course they were playing a trick.

Left me out there on my own.

I couldn't find my way back in the dark.

We grew up hearing all the stories about the things that

were supposed to be out here, the very real names of all

the folks who never made it back.

I was lost for hours.

It felt like something was following me.

I thought I heard it too.

A couple of times, I even thought I saw a--

a dark, like a shadow.

It was too big to be a wolf.

It slipped away too quickly in there.

I was convinced it was a Rougarou.

I was scared to death.

Ran like hell.

Probably just a deer, full-sized buck or something.

The point is, I know what it's like to be out here alone,

scared of what you can't see, scaring yourself with what you

can.

[sniffs] [clears throat] Let's get moving.

Jacob!

Jonah!

Mess of tracks right there.

Marks, just like the ones Quentin found.

There's more all up and down through this stretch.

He was right.

Whoever did this didn't climb up there.

They had to be big enough to reach.

It's a good nine feet.

Maybe it was marking its territory,

sharpening its claws.

[crack] [thud] [splash]

I hear something.

[crack] [thud] [splash]

This is claw marks again.

Let's keep moving.

I think Quentin was on to something.

To be honest, time's getting tighter and tighter.

Just got to keep moving on.

Stay the course.

Wandering around out here terrified, [inaudible] anybody.

[gun clicks]

When Amos Jagneaux's family stormed the morgue

and took his body, they decided to cut

through all the red tape, which means they are currently

illegally in possession of his body.

Now, the coroner, he was kind enough to sign those release

forms after the fact, and he's willing to make it

right as long as we can get those signatures.

Here we go.

[honks horn]

Sheriff's Department!

Any Jagneaux family member hearing this, y'all come out!

What you want?

Hey, hey, with the gun.

Not any closer, buddy.

We need to speak to whoever's responsible for Amos Jagneaux's

affairs, wife, parents, any kids over 18.

He's only got one of those, but trust me,

she don't want to talk to you.

She needs to sign for Amos' body so we can let y'all have

- him. - We already have my brother.

So what you gonna do about it?

How about we come back with a warrant and a lot more

manpower?

Jagneaux?

That's me.

Come on.

You just need to sign.

That's as hard as it has to be.

Otherwise?

You have to surrender you boy Amos' body

back into our custody.

I've got a God-given right to bury my son anywhere I please.

Ma'am, it's in you and your family's best interest

to sign those papers.

If you don't, you're going to be in violation of the law,

and a warrant's going to be issued allowing police access

to your property to claim that body.

You threatening me?

Look, I-- I know how much you Jagneauxs value your privacy.

So it's just as simple as if you could sign--

I ain't signing this [bleep].

Ma'am, it's just a signature.

Get the [bleep] out of here.

[dogs barking]

[frogs singing]

Picked up a fresh trail a ways back.

[sighs] Looks like they're our kids.

Yep.

That's a track.

If we're lucky, they'll lead to a campsite.

t found a safe place to hole up.

This way.

Yep.

Think we've got us a hunting cabin.

Jacob?

Jonah?

You boys up there?

Anybody here?

Hey, boys?

Jules!

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: Does he have a pulse?

He's breathing.

NARRATOR: With Jules severely wounded--

Come on, buddy.

Sit up for me.

NARRATOR: The Cagin' Beast Team splits up.

- Well, we've got to get moving. - Come on, buddy.

NARRATOR: While Tammany rushes Jules back to town,

Luc resumes his search for the two missing boys.

I picked up a fresh trail a ways back.

It's likely our kids.

NARRATOR: Following a trail, Luc comes across an abandoned

hunting shack.

Jacob?

Jonah?

Oh dear god.

What the hell?

It's a butcher den.

God.

There's bones in here.

It's like someone was gutted and torn apart.

This isn't human.

I think for all of us, the best thing we need to do

is get out of here.

We'll just get help.

[radio static]

Anybody out there?

Tammany, You copy?

[radio static]

Dammit.

This skull's-- it's got some years on it.

Judging by the marks, it's a fresh cut.

If I was a gambling man, I'd bet that it was taken off

that body in the cemetery.

God have mercy.

These boys are in a [bleep] of danger.

We've got to get the hell out of here.

I've marked it on the map.

As soon as I get in range, I'll let the Sheriff know.

But this ain't my deal.

I've got to keep moving.

I've got to find those boys.

[frogs croaking]

[swings creak]

People are getting really spooked.

Right now, I'm more afraid of the folks around me.

They're looking for personal protection,

and they don't know what they're protecting against.

The Rougarou, it's like part alligator, part wolf.

And 9 times out of 10, if you see one,

they're going to catch you.

Some people say you can be cured from the Rougarou,

but my Pawpaw said that somebody has to kill you.

It makes you wonder if that's not the Rougarou going around,

you know, picking off these people.

We don't know what's happening.

JAMI BURNS: Lots of folks are real worried

about the Rougarou.

Because if it's a shapeshifter or a demon,

it can physically transform from one person to another.

And when it does, it becomes a predator,

with the strength of many men.

People look at each other with distrust in their eyes.

Is he the Rougarou, or is she the Rougarou?

Because sometimes the worst monster is the monster inside.

DENISE YOUNG: Deputy Lambert? DEPUTY LAMBERT: Denise, right?

DENISE YOUNG: Yes. I spoke to you on the phone.

How you doin'? Oh, sure, sure, sure.

We got the analysis back from the samples of animal matter

and feces that Tammany gave us from that nest

in the sugar mill.

I hope you're coming with answers.

Lord knows I've got enough questions.

She's not returning my calls, so I've just decided to give it

to the Deputy that was a part of the initial investigation when

the samples were taken.

So what you're looking at is a list

of animals that have appeared to call the sugar mill home.

So we found fecal traces of bacteria

from each one of the ones in the sample Tammany provided.

Nutria, fox, alligator?

Black bear.

Mhm.

Bunch of animals like that sharing a space together?

That ain't normal, right?

DENISE YOUNG: No, not at all.

It's bigger than my tape.

I ain't never measured a nest this big.

That's not normal even if it were

over a long period of time.

You know that paw you found on-site the other day?

That definitely was from a bear.

And the fact that it still had tissue attached to it,

that suggests a violent encounter.

[snarling]

Maybe Tammy and them can make more sense out of this than me.

Now it seems there's a whole mess of other stuff.

I'm not sure what to believe about anything around here

anymore.

[boat engine humming]

[radio beeps]

[radio static]

This is Tammany calling for Deputy Lambert.

You copy? [radio static]

DEPUTY LAMBERT (ON RADIO): Tam, you OK?

Find the boys?

No, no.

Jules is hurt, and I'm taking him to the hospital.

But something-- something killed Quentin.

DEPUTY LAMBERT (ON RADIO): What?

We got all split up, so nobody knows what happened.

We didn't see anything.

Jules is cut up really bad, like Amos Jagneaux was.

[radio static]

DEPUTY LAMBERT (ON RADIO): Just call me

when you're at that hospital.

[inaudible],, Luc's still out there.

[radio static]

DEPUTY LAMBERT (ON RADIO): Well, you know what?

We're gonna find him.

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: We're almost there.

[bird caws]

[growling]

[birds trilling]

Been out here going on 30 hours straight.

We lost Quentin.

We can only pray that Jules will pull through.

We've just gotta press on, find these boys,

and get them back safe.

Still don't know what to make of that hunting shack back there.

You know, I wouldn't want those boys running into whoever

owns that place.

As if some big animal out here wasn't bad enough.

Jacob!

[bird caws]

You hear that?

[faint shout]

Jonah!

JONAH AUGOSTIN: Help!

You hear that?

Jacob!

Jonah!

JONAH AUGOSTIN: Help!

Jacob!

Jonah!

NARRATOR: Things are getting tense between the Sheriff's

Department and the family of the deceased local, Amos Jagneaux.

You have to surrender you boy Amos' body

back into our custody.

I've got a God-given right to bury my son any way I please.

NARRATOR: And deep in the swamp, Luc

makes a gruesome discovery inside an abandoned hunting

shack.

LUC BAPTISTE: Oh, dear god.

These boys are in a [bleep] of danger.

We've got to get the hell out of here.

Jacob!

Jonah!

[bird caws]

Jacob!

Jonah!

JONAH AUGOSTIN: Help!

Jacob!

Jonah!

Jacob!

Jonah!

Over here!

We was about to [inaudible] up in here.

You boys all right?

He's banged up real bad.

Something in the water just got him!

Can y'all get over here?

I can't go back in that water again.

Can you please just come get us!

All right. Hold on.

Just stay calm.

I'll come get you.

[insects chirping]

[frogs croaking]

[distant howl]

DEPUTY LAMBERT (ON RADIO): Jules OK?

TAMMANY D'ENTREMONT: He's alive.

We got a team headed out to the spot

where Quentin Schuster was killed.

OK.

They'll retrieve his body, see if the coroner can determine

some cause of death.

We also got a team out there looking for Luc and those kids.

OK.

Well-- well, I gotta get back out there.

I won't keep you too long, but I

need to know what happened out there.

Now, it's best we talk about this now, while it's still

fresh in your mind.

Fine.

So we split up late afternoon.

Quentin and Jules, they wanted to follow a trail,

these doll things up in the trees.

Thought maybe it was some markers or clue to something.

And I know it wasn't ideal to separate,

but then we figured at least we can cover more ground.

How long have you all been separated?

Four, five hours, maybe?

When we split up to-- when we found Quentin's body.

DEPUTY LAMBERT: Was Jules around?

He was a couple hundred yards from-- from Quentin's body.

He was knocked out.

So Luc sent us off, back to get Jules checked out,

and he went and continued searching for the boys.

Was there anything strange about the way Jules was acting?

He's cut up pretty bad.

Lost a lot of blood and seemed like he was still in shock.

Is Jules in any condition to talk right now?

Like I said, he was in shock when we found it.

Do you think there's any chance that Jules had anything

to do with what happened to Quentin?

You tell me no, I'm inclined to believe you,

but I've still got to ask.

No.

OK.

All right.

I'll-- I'll talk to them and square it away.

Now, Jules, he's a long-timer around here and well-liked.

I'm inclined to believe he had nothing to do with Quentin's

death, but more often than not, it's

the person that's right under your nose is the one that's

responsible.

[insects buzz]

[birds chirping]

LUC BAPTISTE: Hold on.

Hold on.

Look, look here.

All right.

I'm not. I'm not.

I'm right here.

Come on.

That's why I keep this stick.

Because you don't step blind out into the water.

It's a gator locator.

[growling]

JONAH AUGOSTIN: What was that? LUC BAPTISTE: All right.

Come on.

Let's go.

Get a move on, boys.

Pick up the pace.

Let's go.

JONAH AUGOSTIN: [inaudible].

LUC BAPTISTE: Jonah!

Ah!

All right.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's get you sitting down, all right?

Right here.

You guys grab a seat right here, all right?

Let's just take a [inaudible] for a second.

It's bad.

Oh, yeah.

That ain't good.

You've got a bad bruise there.

Yeah.

Better take your belt off.

Make you a splint, here.

Help you walk a little easier.

All right.

Let's get it.

Why don't you tell me what happened?

We were looking for that thing, and it just--

it just felt like something was following us.

So to get away from it, we swam out there.

We waited out.

We hid.

And we started to leave, and that's when something just

pulled him under.

Ah!

LUC BAPTISTE: All right.

I'm thinking you got caught up in some roots or something.

That didn't feel like a root.

I know what a root feels like.

I hear you, tough guy.

I heard all the ghost stories growing up.

Ghost stories don't grab people and pull them

under the water.

LUC BAPTISTE: I'm going to fetch you into town,

go by and see your mama, because she's worried sick about you

boys. All right.

Go ahead and stand up on it.

[grunts] LUC BAPTISTE: Come on.

Now, I need you boys to listen to something.

We've got a good reason why we need to get out of here

as fast as we can.

You see that sun over there in the west?

OK.

It sets down behind those trees,

we're going to be in big trouble.

Hypothermia is definitely a concern this time of year.

You get out in that swamp overnight,

you might not wake up the next morning.

Sooner or later, you're going to get sleepy,

and you're going to want to lay down.

And between the moisture in the ground and the wind in the air,

it's going to suck all the heat right out

of you, just like sticking you in a refrigerator.

I had a cousin that died in the '60s.

He had wrecked his boat, and he had died of hypothermia.

Every afternoon, when he finished running his traps,

he would go to the bar.

And when they found him, he was kind of up in the cypress

stumps.

But he was staring at the lights and at the bar, like he was

watching his friends.

They say his ghost is still at [inaudible] Point.

[police siren]

[police radio chatter]

It's awfully suspicious, getting turned away on Jagneaux

property for asking for something as simple

as a signature.

And it got me wondering just what they're doing out there.

So we decided to take matters into our own hands.

We're going to use that illegal burial as a reason

to get on their land.

If they take exception to it, we need to be ready.

But being since we're a small-time Sheriff's office,

we ain't exactly stocked to take on an army,

even if that army is a bunch of backwoods meth heads.

So that's why I called Landry.

He's a deputy from my old parish.

They were kind enough to lend us some extra gear,

just in case [bleep] goes down.

[police radio chatter]

Brought you all the good stuff, right here.

Listen, I appreciate y'all doing this on such short

notice.

LANDRY: I sure hope you don't have to use any of this stuff.

And I've brought my babies right here for you.

This is Boudreaux, Thibodeau.

Sheriff Delaney is going to have us on alert in the event

that you need a hand.

Well, hopefully we won't need to, but appreciate it, though.

How come we ain't got a budget for this stuff?

[birds cawing]

You guys go ahead and start making your way

towards that sun.

Aren't you coming?

Yeah, I'm coming.

I've got half a mind to leave your ass out here.

[bird caws]

[wind howls]

You hear that?

Some big animal out here.

[splash]

[frogs chirping]

[police radio chatter]

What we know is the Jagneauxs broke the law by taking Amos'

body from the coroner's office.

We can do something about it.

If we can get past that gate, we're

going to find what we're looking for, whether it's evidence

that they killed Larry Godet's cow or they're cooking meth.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

We can round up every last Jagneaux,

but that ain't going to solve any of our problems.

The priority is whoever's been doing this killing,

animal or not.

LIEUTENANT DUCRE: Well, we're still waiting on a full report

from the coroner's office for Quentin Schuster.

They're sending off the DNA tests of the wounds

to try to determine the species of the attacker,

since that's still up in the air.

[police radio chatter]

Finally found Jacob and Jonah, lost, stranded way out.

Jonah managed to bust his ankle up, but at least he's vertical.

Now I've just got to get these kids out of danger,

get them back as soon as possible.

All right, fellas.

Let's press on.

Come on.

I'll give you a hand.

[grunts]

Come on down this way.

[grunts]

So we've just got to keep moving forward, all right?

We've got to stay steady.

The last thing we need out here is another mishap.

[flies buzzing]

Watch out [inaudible].

[grunts]

Boat's just a little ways off, all right?

But it's going to be best if we're--

we're quiet through here.

Just keep it down until we get to the boat, all right?

Gotcha.

[growling]

Stop, stop.

JONAH AUGOSTIN: What was that?

LUC BAPTISTE: Sh, sh.

[growling]

Get down.

[growling]

What the--

Sh, sh, sh. (WHISPERING) There's

something else out there.

Listen, listen.

- [interposing voices] - I know.

Don't make a noise. Stop.

[dogs barking]

Some of the Jagneaux boys stormed into the morgue

and took Amos' body.

Said they had a right to bury him on their land.

They skipped past all the red tape.

Didn't sign anything.

And this left our coroner with a lot of legal liability.

I gotta account where that body's at.

I need you to go out to the Jagneaux's.

We've given the family a chance to clear things up

with a couple of signatures, but they

want to do things the hard way.

It's in you and your family's best interest

- to sign those papers. - I ain't signing that [bleep].

Come back down with your warrant.

Which in this case means most of our sheriff's office

marching into their property tonight.

We all suspect there's a lot of illegal activity occurring out

there.

With all this craziness happening around town, who's

to say this crew ain't involved with Larry Godet's cows, people

going missing.

Going after them for taking Amos' body

is the easiest way to get onto their property, see what else

they been hiding.

OK, what do we got here?

Barnes and Leblanc are going to stay at the gate.

Once we cross that property line,

they'll make sure no one comes or goes.

Garrett's going to bring our guy in from the coroner's office.

And once Amos' body is secured, he'll lead him out.

[inaudible] and I are going to keep this path clear of anyone

coming or going.

We don't know what we're walking into here.

I mean, there's rumors of this family cooking meth,

raising illegal fighting animals.

So things could change on us at any given second.

DEPUTY LAMBERT: The coroner's only had a few hours

with Quentin Schuster's body.

We haven't heard anything definitive yet,

but we're being told there's a lot of similarities between him

and Amos' wounds.

[twigs breaking]

[twigs breaking]

[gunshot]

[dog barking]

[inaudible], stay.

[gunshots]

Look man, don't worry about it.

Just get home.

[inaudible].

[dogs barking]

[inaudible]!

Let's go.

Come on.

This way, this way!

Keep going.

[men shouting]

JAGENEAUX MAN: Hey!

Get back here!

LUC BAPTISTE: Go, go, go, go.

Move, move, move.

[men shouting]

LUC BAPTISTE: Go, go, go.

NARRATOR: Next on "Cryptid, the Swamp Beast"--

[gunshot]

The sheriff's office!

Get back!

You're saying that you're going after a damn monster.

[snarling]

I gotta assume that there's still an animal out there,

and I'm not going to stop till I'm done.

MAN: You can't kill it! [gunshot]

[interposing voices]

You saying you caught it?

MAN (ON RADIO): Yep.

I'm going out there.

I believe you got something to show us.

Hey.

We need the dog!

We need the dog!

WOMAN: Take his gun!

Open up!
