Anne.

Anne, come in.

Anne.

I'm here, go 'head.

Ask Cully if

he's got a leaf spring

for a griffin.

Just had one break on me.

Leaf spring.

Got it.

Griffin leaf spring.

Make sure you say griffin

or he'll give you a lancer.

Anything else?

That's it.

Over and out.

Fox.

Raccoon.

Where's the rest?

It's back.

Manual job search begins

for young men of

Fullman right now.

Camped out in the best

land building on main.

At seven o'clock we have

a Winnipeg temperature

of 11 celsius.

Carol Sadler with the

ACKY morning news.

On the sky watch

is Captain John.

Now a

steady flow of traffic up

to the narrow overpass

once you're in downtown.

And traffic will remain

steady through there.

Two lanes on the south

side of the street.

I'll be back with a full

report with sky watch at seven.

10 furs times 11.

110.

11?

It was 20 in June.

That was peak off season.

Didn't sell.

It'll all go for 11 now.

Can't even take that

coon and muskrat there.

How much for the beaver?

Eight.

Is there anything

that didn't drop?

Mink and Martin went up.

Wolf is 175.

Wolverine's 300.

I can see already you don't

got enough for all this stuff.

Might have to work out

what you need the most.

I need a leaf spring.

Griffin.

You wanna be real careful.

You just wanna cut the skin.

You don't wanna

slice the organs.

You don't wanna

puncture the stomach

'cause it'll make a mess

and it'll spoil the meat.

Every animal in the

forest has enough brains

to tan its own hide.

Except one.

A moose.

200 is an insult.

I had to cut our supplies.

I couldn't get any food.

I'll have to go back next

week with castor sides.

It's the season.

People don't need

fur 'til it's cold.

Prices are a quarter of

what they were two years ago.

Costs are almost double.

Muskrats are worthless

so I'll stop baiting them.

Put down more body grips from

Martin's down at the river.

Castors out there steady.

Beavers are worth it.

Take it off the table.

I'm working on it.

Not while we eat.

My love, how was your day?

Dad let me do everything.

I found this weird bug with

orange hair all over it.

A bug with orange hair?

Yeah, Tova ate it.

What kind was it?

Did you ask your dad?

Never heard a name for it.

Bug with orange

hair is fine though.

And the wolf is back.

Ate a raccoon and left the paw.

The back leg.

You weren't gonna tell me?

I didn't wanna

upset you again.

Renee, take your

food into your room.

Can't I just cover my ears?

Do as you're told please.

Won't be long.

Go on.

You were gonna put us

in danger with no warning?

We're in no danger.

It's just a hungry wolf

looking for an easy meal.

It's the same one.

Something's bringing it back.

Either it's food

or it's a female.

If I find out what

it's attracted to,

I could use it to bait it.

It's attracted to us.

It's taking from the trap line.

It already knows we're

a steady food supply.

We're reporting it this time.

Fish cops gonna do

something I can't?

Maybe they can catch it.

We don't run

from our troubles.

We bring our problems to them.

They bring their problems to us.

At least I have good reason

to be worried about the wolf.

You're scared of people.

Enough.

I'll go out tomorrow morning.

If it's there, I will catch it.

It's not just the wolf.

The garden's done and

we can't afford food.

The season's turned

and we have no money

for the winter move.

What if we can't make it

out before the freeze?

What's the end of this?

Say what you're gonna say.

Just think about it.

We got no money for food.

We're gonna buy a

house in the city.

Kearney isn't a city.

It isn't even a town,

but there's a school

and it's still close

enough to the trap line.

We could talk to a bank.

I could get a job.

She's been in

there long enough.

She's gonna think

we're punishing her.

We'll talk about this later.

Yeah.

He was mastered by the

sheer sure dream of life.

The tidal wave of being.

The perfect joy of each separate

muscle, joint and sinew,

and that it was everything

that was not death.

That it was a glow and rampant.

Mom, what does rampant mean?

I'm not sure.

You're all done.

Go get ready for bed.

This is a hard life.

Life is hard everywhere.

This is harder.

You chose it and it suits you.

I chose it when I chose you.

And it suits me.

Renee never had a choice.

She should be in school.

She should be worried

about math and boys.

Not wolves.

She's not scared of a wolf.

You are.

I never finished school.

Does that make me weak?

It's not about

being weak or strong.

People don't live

like this anymore.

It feels like the world

has left us behind.

There isn't another

generation left.

There is if we make one.

This is our life.

This is our home.

Nothing pushes us out

of our home or our life.

Not even you.

Goodnight.

Not today.

Stay home and help your

mother with the chores.

I wanna help catch him.

You're too young.

First get used to

the animals that run,

then you can hunt

the ones that chase.

Grandpa took

you hunting wolves

when you were eight

and I'm almost 13.

I was twice as mean.

Took me half the time.

I don't have to be mean.

I'm smart.

Okay, you can help

with the bait sets,

but we find any fresh tracks,

you take the same path home.

No questions.

Tova stays here.

Go grab your rifle.

Jo, are you there?

I'm here, go.

Renee is with you?

She's here.

She's just baiting sets.

I'll send her back when

it turns into a hunt.

You sure that's safe?

We're moving up wind.

She follows the same path

back, she'll be fine.

She's got the 22.

Don't make that face.

I know what I'm doing.

We should stay off the walkie.

Buddy trip is so loud, it'll

hear us from a mile away.

Over and out.

Think it's wolf shit.

Come here.

I want you to rub this

all over your body.

Get it in deep.

Look at me.

You wanna snag a wolf,

you gotta out wolf them.

That careful son of a bitch is

always looking for traps so.

We gotta be careful, too.

That's for your breath.

Yeah.

Come on, let's go.

Without its pack, a lone wolf

won't go for its usual prey.

It'll go for the old, the

young, the sick, dead.

Gotta give him some

of what he wants.

When you're backing up, don't

lean heavy on your footsteps.

Watch how you don't break.

What is it?

Is it him?

Go on home.

Keep your rifle close.

Stay to the path.

If you see anything, you

hear anything, don't run.

Pop a shot off.

Whatever it is,

it'll keep on going.

What do you do if

you see something?

Don't run.

All right, yeah.

Tell mom I'll be home

after dark, okay?

Go on.

Pew pew.

Hello.

Hey.

What's

wrong with the food?

Ate on the line.

Renee says she

heard a gunshot.

Thought I heard something.

And?

I was wrong.

Deep in the forest

a call was sounding

and as often as he

heard this call,

mysteriously grilling

and learning,

he felt compelled to turn

his back upon the fire

and the beaming earth around it

and to plunge into the forest

and on and on he

knew not where or why

and what did he

tender where or why.

The call sounding.

Imperiously.

The call sounding imperiously.

He just needs to

show himself once

and it'll all be over.

I know.

Tomorrow.

Are you there?

Jo, are you there?

I'm here.

Any sign yet?

No.

I'm gonna stay out all night

if that's what it takes.

Might be out of range so.

Check in tomorrow.

Promise you'll let

me know when you get it.

Soon as I know.

In the meantime, don't veer

too far from the cabin.

You go anywhere, you

take your 22, okay?

I thought you said

there was nothing

to worry about.

Just to be safe.

Over and out.

Mom, I got five.

That's just two off

your dad's record.

Pretty soon you'll

even beat that.

Yeah, I'll never beat him.

Doesn't even need flat ones.

He can skip any shape.

Mom, where's Tova?

He can't have gone far.

He was just beside me.

Tova.

Renee, get behind me.

Mom, Tova's

still out there.

He's still out

there with the wolf.

Please, we gotta go back.

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

I'm gonna go look

for Tova, okay?

I'm gonna go look.

Go get the 22 shells.

Tova.

Inside.

Shut the door.

Tova.

Tova, come.

I'm worried about Tova.

He knows how to

take care of himself.

Not against a wolf.

Dad said wolves hate dogs.

We'll go out again tomorrow

when your dad gets home.

I'm worried about Dad, too.

Renee, there's

nothing to worry about.

He's fine.

How do you know?

'Cause I know your dad.

I know he's stronger than

any animal in this forest.

He's not afraid of a wolf

and neither are we, right?

Right.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

I hope he gets him

while we're sleeping.

Jo.

Joseph, are you there?

One, two.

Three.

Five.

Seven.

11.

17.

13.

17.

19.

We need to find more food.

Hey, not that way.

We'll check the Highland line.

The closest traps

are by the river.

Your dad can check those

ones when he gets back.

Come on.

What's wrong?

It's wolf.

What is that?

It's a ring.

The wolf ate a ring?

I guess it did.

But where

would it get it from?

We're going for a

ride in the truck.

Hold on, hold on.

Yes.

Yes, I'm listening.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, I can help you but

you're gonna have to calm down.

Yes, I am.

Yes.

Please.

Ma'am, we can send someone

as soon as I have an address.

Okay.

Great.

We're gonna have someone right.

Nice.

Who's turn?

I did the last one.

We'll flip for it.

We can flip when it's my turn.

86 Wilton.

I'd get going.

She didn't sound like

the most patient type.

Make sure you bring

the sat phone.

The coverage up there stinks.

Kind of like that lunch

that you just brought in.

Have fun.

Oh my God.

I'm literally staring at

a dead bear right now.

It was a lot bigger when

it was walking around.

And it smells like.

Like.

Dead bear?

The damn thing

is worthless, Greg.

It's the reception,

not the phone, hon.

Just use the landline inside.

Swear to God don't

start with me right now.

My hands are still shaking.

Is that a ticket?

You are

required by law-

- Are you writing me a ticking?

To have locks on

your garbage cans.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

A ticket for what?

$500?

Do you know what

habituated means?

It's when an animal loses its

natural aversion to humans.

Bad for animals.

Bad for humans.

Get some proper trash cans.

Hey, hey.

Thanks for stopping by, huh?

Fuck off.

Thanks for stopping by.

Babe, tell him about the dogs.

I don't think I'm

understanding this right.

Which part?

The living

out in the woods part.

You said that's your

permanent address?

In the summer and fall.

We have a winter

cabin 60 miles north.

So your husband

goes hunting yesterday

and you haven't

heard back from him.

Has he ever been gone this long?

He's always in radio contact.

36 hours isn't

that long for a hunt.

We lose radio contact

out there all the time.

Are you even allowed

to be living out there?

That's all federal land.

It's my husband's land.

It's been in his family

for three generations.

Well, not according to

the line management act.

What does that mean?

It means it's out

of our jurisdiction.

This isn't a federal office.

It also means if we file

a missing persons report,

it's gonna be questions about

your living arrangements.

You know with your

little boy out there,

is that something you

want to do right now?

What about the wolf?

If it happened near

town, it'd be different,

but you can't really blame

a wolf for being a wolf,

especially if he's doing

it where he's supposed to.

Technically, he has more claim

to that area than she does.

This isn't a normal wolf.

I stood face to face with

it as close as we are now.

Was it foaming, rabid?

It wasn't rabid.

It was.

Mean.

Mean wolf.

You don't believe me.

It's not that.

It's just.

Like she said, we're

a municipal office.

So there's nothing you'll do.

What's to be done?

Wolves are native to the area.

My advice is to wait

for your husband

to get back from his hunting

and then move your

family out of the woods.

Thank you for your time.

Hey look, I don't wanna

be the bad guy here.

I just.

I don't know what

we can do for you.

Do you have any food?

Come on.

Go on inside,

start your lessons.

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

Just to look around.

I won't be long.

It's just a baby.

I know.

Not supposed to

shoot the babies.

It was an accident.

I thought it was.

Anyway, no sense in letting

good meat go to waste.

We're gonna eat it?

We have to eat something.

I've never had to

skin a deer before,

but you watch your dad

do it all the time.

Do you think you

could show me how?

Now hold these tight.

Okay.

And then you start

to cut through the skin

by the back leg down to the

ribs, but don't cut too deep

because then you'll

puncture the stomach.

Okay, stop.

And then you reach

all the way inside.

And pull.

Okay and then to skin

it, you take this corner

and pull down really hard,

but you have to cut as you go.

Eat.

You eat deer all the time.

I can't stop

thinking about it.

My brain just knows it's a baby.

It's not a baby.

It's food.

It's meat.

Please eat.

Joe, are you there?

Joseph, can you hear me?

Joe, come in.

Joseph.

Mom, wake up.

Tova's back.

- He's outside.

- What?

Come on, I know it's him.

I heard him howling.

- Sweetheart, no.

- No please, it's Tova.

I know it is.

Come on, Mom.

Come on.

I can't hear anything.

I heard him.

I know I did.

It's not Tova.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

There's nothing out here.

You were having a dream.

I wasn't having a dream.

I heard it.

It sounded like he was hurt.

Please, Mom.

Renee, please.

There, you heard it right?

Sh.

Joe.

That wasn't Tova.

Stay inside.

I'll be right back.

- I'll be right back.

- Mom, it wasn't the wolf.

Joe.

Joseph.

Joe, where are you?

Here.

What was it?

Come on.

Stay in this room

until I come get you.

Do you understand?

Say you understand.

I understand.

Mom.

Water.

He's awake.

Water.

Please.

It's okay, come on.

Come sit.

Who is he?

I found him in the

woods last night.

He has no identification.

What identification?

People from the city carry

cards that say who they are.

He doesn't have one?

No.

What happened to him?

His leg is hurt.

Did the wolf bite him?

Looks like it.

He's a stranger.

Dad said we're not supposed

to trust strangers.

It doesn't matter

what dad says.

Dad's not here.

And we can't just.

We're helping him because

that's what you do

when you find someone

who needs help.

If your dad was here,

he'd say the same thing.

You are not

gonna believe this.

What?

Another bear call.

Seriously?

Where?

No.

Yep.

Again?

Yep.

Damn yuppies think

the laws do not apply

until they need 'em.

Still wanna

flip that coin?

No, I'll go.

I got a skunk up at 21 so

I gotta hit the dump again.

Oh, thank God.

I thought that was your lunch.

I'm gonna tell

Barb you said that.

See you later.

You're forgetting something.

Yeah.

Sat phone.

See ya.

That bear's long gone.

What?

It couldn't have gone far.

It's off your property

and on private land.

What are we supposed to do?

Hey, hey, hey.

That was the

mother or the father.

Hello.

Where am I?

This is our home.

I brought you here last night.

I'll get you some water.

I don't remember.

Wait, don't move your leg.

Just.

Take it easy.

Here.

You don't remember last night?

No.

I was attacked.

There's a wolf.

It's been stalking us.

Almost attacked us two days ago.

Something must

have scared it off

before it could finish you.

Hopefully it was my husband.

Your husband.

Joseph.

My name is Anne.

That's our daughter Renee.

Lou.

Nice to meet you, Anne.

Thinking maybe

you saved my life.

Thank you.

I must've been

freezing out there.

I'm surprised I didn't

catch hypothermia.

What brought you out here?

What do you mean?

Well this.

We don't get a lot

of people out here.

Well no, of course not.

That's what makes it so special.

I'm a photographer.

I was headed up to the falls.

My car broke down.

Started walking back.

I was.

I was so dumb.

I don't know what

I was thinking.

It got dark fast.

Cold, too.

I heard a sound.

I thought that was help.

Maybe it was a wolf.

I don't know.

That's the last

thing I remember.

I must've blacked out.

This is where we are.

The road is up here.

And we got a truck

parked there abouts.

If we can make it there,

we can get you to help.

Wait, you wanna go outside?

What if it's still out there?

You need a hospital.

Those wounds will get infected

and you're gonna

be in a lot of pain

when that shot I

gave you wears off.

Right.

Right, right.

I just.

This thing attacked

you too, right?

I'd be like a sitting

duck out there.

Look at me.

I can't fight back.

I mean, I can barely

sit up straight.

Come.

I need your help.

This doesn't feel right.

Oh.

No.

I'm not getting on that thing.

It's the only way to

get you to the road.

Look at it.

It's way too small.

I'm gonna be hanging off of it.

These aren't meant for people.

This is how I got you here.

Get the door, Renee.

I don't think

I'm ready for this.

Okay, come

on, help me with this.

Taking him all

the way to the road?

I won't be strong enough

so you're gonna have to help.

Okay?

Get behind and push.

It's really hurting me.

I'm sorry.

It's the only way

to get you there.

This is never gonna work.

I'm telling you.

It's just not gonna work.

You ready, Renee?

Three, two, one.

Push.

It's slippery.

Just dig

your heels in, Renee.

Please stop.

Mom, he wants us to stop.

It's hurting him.

It's okay.

Keep going.

Please.

For the love of

God, please stop.

The wolf's gonna hear him.

- He's too loud.

- Please stop.

The wolf's gonna hear him.

He's too loud.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

I just can't.

It hurts too much.

I'm sorry.

I don't wanna go out there.

Just put me on the floor.

Not the floor.

We'll take him to my room.

Grab the bedding, Renee.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry for all this.

Ah, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

I just need some time.

Things will be easier

when my husband gets back.

I promise.

You'll be okay.

We'll all be okay.

Get some rest.

Gather up the reworking trap

and see what you can find.

Any kind of weapons.

We need to start

thinking like your dad.

That's all the

traps we've got.

Not enough.

This is the way my

granddad used to do it.

He was a hunter, too.

The wolf tries to eat the meat,

but he licks the blade

and taste his own blood.

So he keeps licking and licking

and licking and

licking and licking.

Dad says we don't use poison.

Well if he were,

we wouldn't have to.

We need to protect ourselves.

If we don't hurt the wolf,

the wolf is gonna keep

trying to hurt us.

And what is Tova comes

back and eats it instead?

He won't.

I'm all out.

What else did your dad

teach you about wolves?

They hate smoke and fire.

Then we'll

have smoke and fire.

Orion hotel foxtrot

two four eight.

That's right.

K car.

Probably two days.

Maybe more.

All right, no problem.

Thanks.

You too.

Please

don't take that out

until I'm done with this.

What did she say

she found this?

I don't remember.

It must be sector six or seven

if it's only 20 minutes

from the country.

Hair lakes.

Uh oh.

I see the wheels turning.

What does that mean?

Something about that lady.

If you ask me, the wolf is

the least of her problems.

Can you imagine living out

there permanently with a kid?

That's just it.

She's been living out

there for how long?

She didn't seem like the

type that scared so easy.

Where would a wolf find

a cheap old ring like that?

Maybe it was attached to

something that tasted good.

Like a finger?

I'm heading out.

Out where?

Check out the K car.

What, we got like an hour left

and you just called

in the plates.

Why don't you wait

'til tomorrow?

I'm curious.

If I don't, it's going

to bug me all night.

Sat phone.

Nice.

Lucy.

Do you copy?

Lucy.

Jesus Christ.

Oh Jesus.

You there, Danny?

Pick up the phone

if you're there.

Come on, Danny.

You better not have

fallen asleep there again.

Wake up.

Danny?

Hey Luce, it's Barb.

I fell asleep waiting

for Danny last night.

He didn't come home.

He didn't phone or anything.

Danny.

Can you give me

a call when you get in?

Thanks.

Joe, please answer me.

Please help me.

I can't do this alone.

Joe.

No.

Danny.

Jesus.

Danny.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, Danny.

No.

Okay, listen to me.

Listen to me.

Tell Barb I love her.

Listen to me.

I am gonna go and

get help, okay?

So you have to stay awake.

Tell Barb-

- You're gonna

tell her yourself.

Renee.

Mom.

Go.

No, please.

Please, don't.

Stop.

Oh, man.

That's the stuff.

That is the stuff right there.

Hey.

I need the keys to your truck.

I need to get to my car

before someone else finds it.

Where are the keys?

Don't worry about her.

Your girl's fine.

Tell me where the keys are.

I'll take you to Renee,

but you got to go first.

Okay?

You go first.

Keys.

Renee.

Here?

Where's Renee?

Now we're talking.

Where's Renee?

I wasn't looking

for any of this.

If it were up to me, we never

would have crossed paths,

but your husband

wanted to catch a wolf.

Is that what he told you?

I wanna know who did this.

We've got a blood trail.

Look at me.

We got smoke over here.

Smoke.
