so up

ah

uh

oh

so

oh darling we can hardly wait to get

here

how was the trip perfect joe was waiting

for us right at the dock of juno when

the femur landed oh i didn't see any

more

ah where's the wall oh we get to them

later honey you said take good care of

professor i did my best

with that that uh that was one of mars

friends

when one sings like that the indians say

it's a ghost of the glaciers yet they uh

they say there's something strange lives

up there at the edge of the ice they

don't know exactly what it is but they

have all sorts of marvelous stories

about it human footprints in the snow

it's a sort of an alaskan version of the

abominable snowman i bet if we knew wolf

talks they could tell us

well now i i don't think they're quite

that friendly on it you know professor

the rest of your baggage is over here oh

here i'll give you angel you exactly

it's time to crank up if i'm going to

make juno by dark hell if you sure you

don't want me to check back in here

every 10 days or so no thanks true the

cam's too high up to make the tip down

that often we've got plenty of surprises

well i was thinking of mrs wade and a

little girl this isn't exactly a woman's

country now yes i know but an

anthropologist family gets used to

spending their vacations in rugged

places besides they've been looking

forward to this all year long well two

months then huh 20th of august joe now

you better get out of juno just as soon

as you have enough light may take us a

couple of trips to get out of here if we

have many specimens

oh you better watch the mosquitoes mrs

wade they're jet powered and armed with

rockets up here all right i will and

thanks again for all the lovely

sightseeing my pleasure goodbye remind

your daddy young lady and don't leave

camp alone

no good luck trevor ah thank you joe

thanks for everything

be careful

we better get started ourselves

before now i told you i would

that is going away

two months isn't so long be gone before

you know it

it's going to take me a few days to get

used to climbing in this altitude

but look at maura she climbs like a

mountain goat

oh my god oh come on darling

there you are drone glacier castle

oh franklin

oh daddy it's just

it's just lovely frank i never expected

anything like this how did you find it

well a former tenant led me to it then

moved out when i showed up

figured that i was an undesirable

neighbor i guess a former tenant yes it

was a wolf stand a wolf stand

i want to show you something

how's that for you mrs blake huh

beautiful

tired honey um

but you are happy aren't you oh i am

daddy

come here quick

though

a couple of weeks ago

are you comfortable yes mommy

good night

good night everybody

you know frank

newsman i've been thinking

you're

an anthropologist right yes ma'am i sure

am professor franklin wade phd

and here we are about as far away from

men as we can guess

you miss them huh no

but i can say i'm particularly fond of

wolves either oh come on now where's

your scientific curiosity we're

fascinating creatures wolves

oh no i'm serious really they live

together they hunt together and there's

some evidence that they're monogamous

that they mate together for life now

that should be a point in their favorite

moments point of view huh not to mention

those lovely royalties from that book

when i finish writing it

but darling that's very reassuring

but i don't know about mara and those

pops

oh there's a president for that i think

romulus and ramus remember what are the

founders of rome to do with us well they

were reared by a wolf

well thank heavens mara has a father and

a mother to raise her

thank heavens indeed

good night

come on you two woof woof you know i i

swear she's wider than they are in only

two weeks i wonder what it should be

like by the end of the summer

all right girls there you go right down

there doing girls

get ready frank

here he comes

these are the biggest we've seen yet

you best get mar on the pups up here

and don't shout you'll spook the wolves

they're nervous enough as it is

i'll have to go and get her

oh

my god

oh

wake up

oh

so

uh

hey

hey

so

sometimes

this is your favorite juno station

bringing you 30 minutes of uninterrupted

music

come in

william

mr kelly got your ride hey the glacier

lake that's right no rush

pilot says it'll be about an hour before

the plane's ready

well that's good sit down mr kelly and

uh

pull out the cigarette i've got some

reports to finish signing thank you

you know

i never get to know you summer relief

boys as well as i'd like to

how many of these hitches have you put

in with this now three sir between terms

of graduate school

that's right your personnel record did

say you're studying for your doctorate

anthropology that's right

all that's left is to write my thesis

well listen volunteering for our most

dangerous high country patrol kind of an

odd way to prepare a paper like that

not this time mr kelly

i asked for assignments of this district

on purpose

social coordinates among vertebrate

species volume one

must be fascinating now it is but

incomplete

it needs a section on wolves to complete

it

i found this in the newspaper more

yesterday

search for lost scientist and family

abandoned

that was about 12 years ago i remember

it well

faith of dr franklin wait noted the

anthropologist his wife and daughter

missing for two months in the high

country beyond glacier lake this study

dr wade was making needs a section on

wolves to complete it and that's what i

intend to write for my thesis

williams

before you go out there i want to tell

you something for your own good

those white devils are the most

dangerous animals on the north american

cotton i know sir

then you should also know what happened

to this professor and his family if you

expect to find any trace of them after

all this time ah the best trackers in

alaska gave that up 12 years ago

what you do with your spare time is

your own business and you're going to

have plenty of it up there alone

i uh brought along the latest maps

the last animal count

now here you'll see that we've built a

shelter cabin that's within packing

distance of the lake the pilot will spot

it for you on the way in

now somebody from the office will

contact you every 10 days or so

now this is the latest animal count

the

elk and the deer have moved up into this

area here so naturally the wolves and

the cats will be somewhere down in here

now if you get up there and you find the

wolf count is

too high why you think him out is it

slow

well you do what you can to protect and

tell me how to weak sort of maintain the

balance of nature that's what predator

control is for

oh

one other thing

the state people have licensed a trapper

to work in this area right in here

now he collects animals for zoos

circuses things like that now if you

should happen to run into him hands off

he's out of our jurisdiction

oh boy you better get the packing

yes sir

uh

wow

so

so

oh

place your ghost make plenty of track

but you talk too much

glaze your ghost

government

found wolf

maybe he sees too try what track

you've had me up and down every wolf run

from here to devil's pawn all i've seen

is ordinary wolf prince

always plenty of wolf trucks like today

yesterday

this footprint

but small yeah yeah

you know why it's not right

but

you keep your mouth shut about that

ghost of yours

around that fish and wildlife agency

come here

if we can't locate that wolf pack we'll

let it find us

take that carcass down to the stream

where there's soft ground

and tie it down so they can't carry it

away

oh

so

hmm

so

so

federal fish and wildlife feathers huh

i'm ken williams of the juno office

bye

major william

jarnigan

dsc retired royal fusiliers

india africa and malaysia but that was a

long time ago

i'm in a state permit my camps at the

head of the next draw

i was told you might be near here major

good job

your jobs ought to learn to lock your

doors

any idea who broke in here

what you mean

my man friday and i are the only who in

a hundred miles we found the door open

and missed you've already done well

somebody pulled the pin out of that hasp

raccoon i guess

looks more like a bear from the mess

inside um bears too stupid

take it from me williams

animals in the wild are like troops in

combat and i've handled plenty of both

they've got guts if you scare them

enough

but the bigger and tougher they are

you'll find the less brains in their

skull

no animal

called the choke

ratio ghost steal from indian two for a

long time now

you see

it's all the same woods jungle belt

natives

but they can't understand they have to

call supernatural

oh major i found there's usually some

facts behind any native superstition i'm

not in my experience oh look that's uh

there's no use trying to salvage that

mess in there why don't you come over

and bunk at my place we can get on my

radio and have your chat pick you up the

lake in the morning

well thanks major but i've got to get

this mess cleaned up

i'm going to be around for a while

what's so important

only my job

summer check on the wolf pack oh a big

client

wasting your time william we've been

here a month haven't seen a head

well that's funny i counted at least a

dozen on the way up from the lake

really

you know glasses must be better than

mine perhaps i should borrow them

i know where i could get a fancy price

for a pair of those big devils

well i'm sorry but it might be best to

wait until i've made my count i uh may

not be able to let you take any

my uh my permit says walls if i want

them

any

i just made it major

anytime you want out

don't forget to use my radio

see you around

well now what are you doing way up here

maybe i got a peace offering for you oh

boy

yeah

you're my friend

no matter what the man says you are not

big enough or mean enough to be

responsible for all this mess

besides that i need someone around here

to

complain to who isn't

going to talk back to me

i think you will

oh

come on breakfast can wait

all right

when you're finished see that you police

up the joint every man of his own dishes

that's a rule around here

and uh don't expect me back for lunch

oh oh and put the supper roast in the

oven by three

i uh i won't need this today

just these

now where did you go

well wish me luck

wait going

some cuts

no wolf could lug off a carcass like

that

gonna check

right the big whites

probably an indian boy run wild

no

half grown by the size of that prince

oh you've got an apology honey you'd get

it if you want an indian

you any idea

how much a genuine wild boy would bring

from half a dozen shows i know

and the percentage of the gate

i'm gonna follow these prints while

they're fresh

you'll kill us another bait

and do your hunting in the next draw

you don't want that federal agent

snooping around here

not now

connor chuck

so

my

so

um

ah

ah

hey wait

so

what'd you do play bridge all afternoon

all right should go see if my laundry's

dry come on keep going you go see if the

laundry's dry

oh you wouldn't believe what happened to

me today i can hardly believe it myself

according to this she was

seven when her party disappeared

you know

how to make her about

19 now

12 years on her own up

here oh that doesn't figure

it's not up here

and those wolves

kelly must be right about what happened

to the rest of her party

but

why not her

dr wade's theories on

canine communal instinct

what about our friend the major

claiming he hadn't seen any wolves

i wonder

if he knows about her

i wonder if that's what he's hanging

around here for

yeah over here

stop the feed here

maybe

they're down by the creek for water

but they'll come back for their leavings

give them one more feed free

get them used to our sand

it's a good spot over there

and

this is fine

stick it out like a regular four trap

set without trap this time oh next time

we'll plant the teeth

i go get the bait

major

no

oh

hello

um

b

hey

this crap too big

he wanted to hold what it grabbed

red whoop maybe break late

hurt him so he bleeds plenty and die

sometimes

somebody even chew their own leg off

get free

what do we care if we lose a wolf or two

we're not after them

yeah you plant those two

maybe you catch query check

and you die too

an indian's tougher than a than a wolf

you know that

even a young one

a bigger leg bone

and what if he does tear himself up as

it

just make him that much easier to handle

foreign

john again i thought i asked you not to

make any wolf sets till i finish my

count

uh williams why don't you mind your

business and i'll mind mine well this is

my business now you spring those traps

and dig them up that's not what my

permit says this is federal land i could

have you run in for the mess you left

your camp in this morning

for the way you're treating the animals

that you've already got down there

you can't trap here

where's a

a person a human running wild with one

of these wolf packs

i've seen her tracks i've seen her

huh

a woman

a girl

i think she's the survivor of a

scientific expedition that disappeared

back up here about a dozen years ago

now we can't have her getting tangled up

in one of these

hey um i know about this in juneau

no i just stumbled onto her yesterday

williams do you really expect me to

believe a preposterous story like that

you expect anybody to believe us

now are you going to spring these traps

or do i have to

well i uh

i just guess you'll have to

uh

oh

the first time an accident like that is

happening up here

every now and then a man stumbles into

somebody else's trap set

i shot our tracks

brush out our tracks

but he says it's true we ought to cut

something pretty interesting

i won't need that meat for bait now

why did i have some fresh meat in camp

come on

come on

uh

so
