Wild Game (2021) - full transcript

When a cash-strapped rancher takes an offer to help a movie star poach elk it seems like easy money, until a fatal run-in with the local authorities triggers a series of events that pits man against man in a bloody showdown.

Is that coffee?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Is there whiskey in there?

What kind of coffee would it
be without a little nip?

Oh, I could kiss you.

Who are we pulling for DeLuca?

Uh, for mules I was thinking
Patchouli

and, for Donny,
I'm thinking Vaquero.

Can he ride?

He rode in that
Repentance movie.



Ten bucks says
he used a body double.

- I ain't taking that bet.
- What?

You don't wanna chalk
that shit up

- to the thousands you already owe me?
- You know, come on. Thousands of nothing.

I owe
you shit change and a blowjob.

Well, I'll take the blowjob
and no

No. Keep the change.

First of all, I know
you'd enjoy it too much.

God,
I could use a favor right now.

Breeding horses
is easy enough.

Mares, they go into heat,

and the studs,
they get a whiff.

I swear our stud just winks at
a mare and she's knocked up.

Oh, boys will be boys.



Surprised to see, man.

It's gonna be dirty.

I thank you, Lord,
for my Clay.

He needs some
breaking himself, but...

he's a loyal, hard-working man

and he could really use
a win right about now.

I've really only known
two kinds of men in my life.

Obviously, my Clay,
stubborn, loving,

and funny as all get-out even
when he's not trying to be.

The other, whoo, Lord,

he was just...

...off.

You know, the last I heard,

he was in some kind
of military halfway house.

That boy, he had something
dark inside of him.

When I broke it off,

I found my prize mare
stabbed 16 times.

I pray for his soul.

Although, I reckon
you can't break a horse

that's already broken.

You're late.
We only have five minutes left.

Ah, the alcohol swab.

Some patients are just
so pushy.

Okay. Do not
with all your cute shit.

I feel the complete opposite
of sexy right now.

Okay.

Just hurry up.
Come on, get it over with.

- Annie?
- What?

Did I ever tell you,
you're my dream girl?

No.

You're my dream girl.

Good boy.

You need a hand, Cracker Jack?

No.

Hold on.

How is she?

Good. Good.
She's pretty much broke.

No, I meant
your human wife, Annie.

Ah.

Poor girl.

Ah-ah.

You've got any bookings?

Why do you care?

I thought I fired your ass.

I figured since hunting season
is two weeks out,

you might need some help.

Nope.

We're just holding our dicks.

I think I might have something
that can help you.

Yeah?

You're not going to like it.

Remember that movie star guy
I took on a day ride?

- Ah, vampire guy.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Donny DeLuca.
- Yeah, yeah.

He's in town on this production
portraying some...

great white hunter.

He reckons himself
a method actor.

So he actually drinks blood
and bangs virgins.

I would not put it
past the man.

This dude wants to hunt,

even put it in for
a non-resident tagging.

The problem is the schedule.

The movie starts shooting
the same day the season opens.

- So he wants to go out early?
- Look, look,

I get you are a stickler
for the hunting ethics.

You get that from your old man.

But you and I both know
that this ranch

will not survive
on Bible verses and goodwill.

Plus it can help you pay for
those fertility treatments.

So now I'm supposed to help
a famous actor poach game?

It's worth hearing his offer.

What's in it for you?

My standard 15%, maybe 20.

Ah, there it is.

You know that I'm looking out
for you, all right.

But this guy
is talking big money,

more money
than you make in a season.

Your pops is gone.

And you got shit sense
for business.

You need somebody
looking out for you.

Hmm, love you, dude.

- See you later, man.
- Yeah, man.

Come on.

Hey, baby. You ready?

Come on.

Come on.

Mm, sweet Lord.

- Have a seat, mister.
- Yes, ma'am.

What?

Nothing.

Uh-uh.

What is this look on your face?

Just the look of a man in love.

Oh, okay.

Tell me. Come on.

Banjo was talking to me

when I was working
with the ponies today.

- I knew I smelled weed.
- I didn't.

Anyway...

he was telling me
about this famous actor

who wants to pay big money
to take him on an elk hunt.

- That's great. Who?
- Donny DeLuca.

The guy from Vegan Vampire?
I love him.

That's the dumbest name
I've ever heard.

- Okay. Yeah.
- That guy

wants me
to take him out this week.

You mean next week?

No.

Before the season opens?

Big money in it.

Okay, but you're not
gonna do it, are you?

Of course, not.

My dad would roll in his grave.

Okay.

Down the hatch.

Bottoms up.

Hey, baby, I just took a test

so I will meet you
inside in 20.

Love you.

Okay, baby.

I was running
and I had an idea.

Why don't
we just take out a loan?

Wouldn't that solve everything?

We can talk about that later.
Go get the test.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Do you remember
that old cowboy code

your dad used to make
you recite to all the guests?

Yeah, of course.

Let's hear it, in order.

Okay. One,
live each day with courage.

Two, take pride in your work.

Three, always finish
what you start.

That's it.

You did it.

I can't believe it.

Dream girl.

But hey, look, we... we are
not out of the woods yet.

So let's just
not get too excited.

Hey, not safe.

- Oh, I'm fine.
- You should rest, honey.

No, I'm fine. In fact,

I am gonna go
and feed the horses.

And you can hold onto this.
I peed on it. Have fun.

Annie...

I'm taking that deal.

- Wait, what?
- I gotta.

My grandfather built
this place for my father,

and now it's mine.

I'm sure as hell not gonna
lose it for our son.

Mm, what if it's a girl?

Boy or girl, this is our home,

and we need that money
for their future.

Like how we needed
the money for the treatments?

A child's gonna cost a
lot more than those treatments.

I know, but I...

I feel like
we can still find a way

to save the ranch and also get
the money the right way not...

What's right

is protecting you,

protecting this ranch,

and protecting our child.

What would your father say?

Do what has to be done,

number four.

Number four.

I'll think about it.

We'll see.

Is this guy legit?

- What the hell is that?
- He's legit. He's legit.

He's got the cash,
and that's legit, right?

- I don't know, is it?
- Pretty legit to me.

Money makes
the world go around.

Legit my ass.

What makes your world go round?

- Where the hell is he?
- See...

that thing.

What the hell is that thing?

Is that a giant bumblebee?

I don't know.

What is that sound?

House music.

What kind of house
would make that sound?

If this guy tries to suck
my blood, the deal's off.

Only if he tries
to suck mine first.

Hey.

Wow.

Look at this fucking place.

- Nature, woo!
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, get out of here, baby.
How you doing?

- Good. Donny, Clay.
- Donny DeLuca.

- Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

Absolutely. How was the drive?

It was great.
Let's talk business.

Okay.

It's for the money.

- Where's he going?
- Come on.

Fuck, yeah, killing it.

That's a fucking break.

So you can handle a weapon?

Yeah.
No, I can handle a weapon.

I mean, on a range,

the fake shit, it's movie shit.

I-I-I wanna kill
something for real,

in real life, like real men do.

Big Dick...

Big Dick Banjo
over here tells me

you're the guy
to pop that cherry.

I could lose my business
if we got caught.

Look, now, I-I hear you.

Okay, I do. I really do.

But...

in nine days,

I'm supposed to become
a legendary hunter.

It has to be authentic.

It has to be raw.

I want people
like you guys... to like it.

Now, look, they're gonna
interview me about this movie

and they're gonna ask me
if I'm a hunter.

If I say no...

well then,
I'm just some shmuckula actor,

sucking on the teat of reality,

pretending I'm not just
drinking its cosmic milk.

Now look, who do you think
is gonna watch this movie?

I-I mean, some LA vegans
sucking down soy milk

and bitching about guns? No.

No. This movie's not for them.

This movie is for you,
people like you.

This is your story.

Now, whose story is this?

It's ours.

Goddamn fucking right it is.

Now look...

I could do you a little favor.

Just some social media posts

you know, get you more business

than you could ever possibly
even imagine.

And not like talking about
some cash-poor eco hippies.

I'm talking about real VIPs,

movie money,

right wing,
scumbag, hunting money.

If we got caught,

I wouldn't have a place
to host those VIPs.

Right, right, right. Now...

50,000.

Another 25,000
if we get a kill.

Whoo!

My business is worth
more than 75 grand.

Okay.

$50,000, another $50,000 if,

no, when we get a kill.

And if we don't,
you keep the original 50K.

Now, look, I...
I totally get your concern

about the long dick
of the law, I do.

Fucking pigs, am I right?
Am I right, brother?

Preach, brother.

Fuck 'em!

Look, if we get caught...

I'll pay all the legal fees.

And then I'll do a press tour

all about how
those suits down in town hall

are trying to destroy
some humble rancher

who's just trying
to live off the land.

Not to mention, I mean,

it's not really even poaching.

I mean, we're gonna
eat this meat, right?

I mean,
I plan to only eat that meat

the entire time
I do this movie.

What do you say?

Look, look, look, look,
okay, okay, okay, okay.

Look, this whole
open season thing,

is just a stupid technicality
to enrich those forest rangers,

or whoever's in charge

of this fucking murdering
animal business, okay?

The elk are gonna fuck.

They're gonna fuck and
they're gonna make more elk.

Listen, that's nature, Clay.

You know what else is nature?

Looking out for yourself.

Do we have a deal?

Let me talk it over
with the missus.

Man of principle.

See, I like that.

I love that.

Let's do a toast to that.

Listen.

Dear Lord,

we thank you in advance

for guiding Clay
toward the right decision.

Preach.

May this elk
nourish our bodies.

May its memory
nourish our souls.

May those prions
that I certainly will eat

leave me with the ability
to remember my lines.

Yeah.

Annie?

Annie.

Are you okay?

No.

What's wrong?

I have a really bad feeling
about all this.

- About the trip?
- Hmm-mm.

Okay.

He offered $100,000
tonight but...

I don't care
what he offered you.

When have you ever...

been someone
to believe that just

because it's convenient
that it's right?

I mean...

God has a plan for us.
You know he does.

God's plan has us
with two years of in vitro

and thousands
of dollars in debt.

Yeah, I know.

I know what I put
my body through every day

so that I can have
a family with you.

That I would like to be part
of this decision.

No, you do.

You are part of this decision.

Am I?

We could take out
some more loans

and we would cripple
ourselves with debt.

We'd be putting ourselves
into a deeper, darker hole.

This is the one shining light.

You don't trust
God's plan for us?

I don't.

I'm sorry, Annie.

But my father was
so damn self-righteous,

he could barely keep
this together

by the skin of his teeth.

And now it's mine.

I'm not going to just
let it go by the wayside.

And I'm doing it for you.

And I'm doing it for our child.

"Ill-gotten treasures have
no lasting value.

Righteousness rescues people
from death."

I'm taking the deal.

And you have to make me
feel okay about it.

Please, make me feel
okay about it, Clay.

I've got...
I've got to take this deal.

- I know.
- Okay.

Dear Lord...

just... please protect Clay

and Banjo, and Donny.

On this journey,
please keep them safe.

Please keep them safe
and out of harm's way

and bring him back to me
and his baby girl

because it's gonna be a girl,
whether he likes it or not.

Amen.

Hey, I just wanted to
tell you that I'm

sorry that your benefits didn't
go through, you know, and...

But I, I think it's going
to be great for you

to be back out
on your feet again,

and I think you're ready.

Um, it was a pleasure
working with you.

Thanks for your service.

Oh, hold on there, Gunner.
I was actually...

able to wrangle up
something from the VA.

Yeah.

His name's Barnaby.

Here, you go.

Um, I think you guys are
gonna be the best of friends.

He's good at digging holes too.

Yeah.

It's very important, squad,

to remember
to cover your eardrum

when you go in the water.

And that's how it's done.

As a game warden,

you never know
what kind of conditions

you're gonna be faced with.

Whether it be getting
from one boat to another,

responding to
a flood situation,

or say a poacher
resists a ticket

and you get in a scuffle,
you fall in,

what would you do?

What would you do?

Go for the eyes?

Just keep treading, sir.

Thank you.

I know
from personal experience.

Now, I'm sure you'd like to

be wearing
your swimmies right now,

your bikinis
or even your Speedo, Jeremy,

but we don't have that luxury

when we're out in the wild
wearing our uniforms

weighing us down
with 20 pounds of gear.

So, remember, squad,

before we hop in,

just keep on treading.

Thank you.

Thank you, Trish.

Trish, thanks.

- Trish!
- Oh, yes sir, warden sir.

As I live and breathe.

Hey, squad,
may I introduce you...

may I introduce...

my brother, Lieutenant Corporal
Gunner Walsham,

coming straight back from, uh,

straight back from Afghanistan.

Thank you for
your service, sir to...

Hey, can I talk to you
real quick?

Gunner doesn't
really like being touched.

He's been held in the military
psych unit for some imbalances.

Is he dangerous?

What do you think?
He was in the Special Forces.

Ah, I mean, is he stable?

You know, it's none
of your business, rookie.

Okay, that's my brother
you're talking about.

So enough chit-chat,
let's get in that water.

Hey, Gun.

Back in the old room.

They let you go, so...

you're probably
better now, right?

Did you get my letters?

Can I turn this up?

Sorry.

Whatever happened to you two?

Thought you're gonna propose.

You don't have
to talk about it.

Just let me know,

I'm here to listen when you do.

Tell you what there, I got you
a present from me and Mom.

- Hey, Mom.
- What?

, Gunner's present.

Oh, my sweet baby, thank you.

Oh.

- Present.
- Okay.

Do you still play?

Remember, when we used to lead
the worship band?

Hey, it stinks
I have to work tomorrow, but...

you can totally come with,

tracking down
a sick mama black bear,

and you could use
your tracking skills.

It's no tracking down
Osama bin Laden,

but it should be pretty cool.

Pack trip?

Don't you mess with me.

Thanks.

Hey there, stud.

Sorry, lady.

I'll be out of your hair

before your, uh,
husband gets home.

Oh, see, it's Tuesday night.

My husband, he works
a double on Tuesday nights.

So he won't be home
for a very, very long time.

Is that so?

We're definitely gonna
keep this light.

No tents. We'll use
the tarps as a lean-to.

If we get an elk, I want
the room to hide that shit.

Come here. Hey, come here.

- Are the ponies all right?
- Yeah, they'll be all right.

Buck's gonna get him good.

I hope he does.

What did you do?

I just want
a selfie, come here.

Oh, that's a boy. That's a boy.

I think you might be one
of the first victims

of his that's outside
of the blood line.

Buck doesn't want
to play with me.

You smell like a city boy.

It's probably for the best,
he drinks his own piss.

- How's your hand smell?
- I smell okay.

- Yeah?
- I got a photo.

Look at this, bro.

- Hey, Don.
- You disgusting animal.

Do me a favor.

Let's not post anything
on social media

until we're in the clear,
all right?

Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah.

- Copy that, copy that.
- Cool.

Okay. So what...
what do we got here?

What is all this shit?

Well, this shotgun
is the bear gun.

Banjo and I both have 357s.

Now, right here.
That's your elk gun.

Oh yeah. Rest in peace, elk.

All right. Okay.

So what's that...

what's that mule for?
Is that just to carry our shit?

Exactly.
And that bay right there,

that's your horse, Vaquero.

- Vaquero?
- Yeah.

- It's an awesome name.
- He's a good horse

but he needs some directions,

so make sure
you keep attentive on him.

Hear that, Vaquero?

Practicing consent
on this trip.

How well do you ride?

Uh, you know, I pretty solid.

I only done it in
a couple movies.

So, you know, okay.

You know, feel free
to shout out any pointers.

Will do.

Alrighty. Let's saddle up.

I'll bring out
your saddle, Donny.

Thank you.

Hey, Vaquero.

Practicing consent
on this trip, Vaquero.

Hey, baby.

Wow... Fucking nature.

Wait, wait, wait.
Please don't leave yet.

I have a little
something for you.

I feel like you can't go on
a pack trip without these.

Oh, you're an angel.

You guys ready to go?

Yeah. I think we're set.

You're an angel.

- Here you go.
- Thank you, honey.

- You're all set?
- Yeah.

- Be careful.
- We will.

- Love you.
- All right.

- Love you.
- Love you.

- Guys, here's your sammies.
- Hi, Banjo.

- Hey, beautiful.
- How are you? I missed you.

- Haven't seen you in a while.
- Yeah.

- Who's this?
- Except for this one.

Hi.

- Donny DeLuca.
- Annie.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

I just have to tell you
that I really love your movies.

- Thank you.
- Okay, okay.

I'm sorry, I had to tell him.

- I love you, honey.
- Banjo,

you take care
of my man, please?

Will do. Will do.

I'm just gonna be fine.

I know, just promise me
you'll be careful.

I will.

- Please.
- I will.

We'll be back
before you know it.

You're my dream girl.

- I love you.
- I love you more.

Across the water?

- No. I'm not here.
- Cross the water.

- Be careful.
- We will.

Let's go.

Come on.

No. Get...

No.

Gunner.

No, Gunner!

No, I can't.

The hell is wrong with you?

No. No way.

Gunner, get off of me.

It's a little early
for Clay to go out hunting.

- Donny.
- Yeah?

- You hungry?
- Not yet, no.

I'm going to wait
till we're in deeper.

Wow, look at this.

Still your land?
This is incredible.

We passed that a while ago.
We're in public land.

Okay.

You've got a little...

Shoot.

Yes, it's dry up here.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, man.

So, uh...

what are the rules out here,
you know, what do I...

what do I got to know
to not get eaten by a bear?

Bears,
do you know the difference

between a black bear
and a grizzly?

The color?

Black bear,
you climb up a tree,

he's going to chase you up
that tree, then he'll eat you.

A grizzly, he'll just knock
the tree down and eat you.

You only really need
to worry about black bears.

They've been known
to steal your wallet.

You know what, no,
it's really the white bears

you gotta worry about,
because they steal your 401k,

they blame it
on the black bears,

creates a whole history
of problems.

Fucking psychological
warfare bullshit.

You guys have got a funny way
of talking to each other.

Just how we say
we love each other.

Hey, mind
if I did some practice?

Whoa!

- That's a negative.
- I'm sorry, man.

Hey, sorry about that.

Gunshots scare animals, Donny,

they also alert
the law of our presence.

Look, here's the deal.

We get caught...

we're just out here helping
you build your character.

Yeah. We'll distract him.

Make him want
to suck your dick.

Oh, come on.

No Deliverance shit out here.

Oh, Donny, this is Wyoming.

In Wyoming men are men,

and the sheep are nervous.

Ah, 'cause you fuck sheep!

Sheep fuckers.

This one is.

In all seriousness, Donny,

if we get a kill,
just stick to the story.

- Yeah.
- We're out here,

- building your character.
- Yeah. When we come back,

it's going to be right at
the season opening,

so there's gonna be
a lot of people out,

- including game wardens.
- Yeah.

Valley
are preparing to hunt.

All right.

Now, worst-case scenario,

you know,
what happens if we get caught?

It's like a $10,000 fine.

That's it?

I mean, with the 50 grand
that you gave him in cash,

it makes it a felony, that's...

that's gonna be
potential jail time.

They're not going
to find the cash.

I mean, if we do get caught,

they'll strip me of
my outfitter's license.

I'm the one
doing the jail time.

Don't worry about that.

Okay, look,
don't worry, all right?

Run into a game warden,

I'll cover us.

- Here's your sandwich.
- Well, you just

keep your eyes peeled
for them, all right?

They wear red shirts.

Sheesh.

We haven't been out
packing together

since we were in high school.

I made you boys a chicken
pot pie to take with you.

Mom, how am I gonna pack that?

Tupperware?

Mom, we're
only taking two horses.

We gotta carry this stuff.

A freezer bag then.

So, I know I'm technically
working out there,

but I plan on making
a real good time of it.

I'm bringing games,
sing-along songs for the fire,

maybe even a flask.

Here.

Mom, what is this?

- Tempest.
- The cat?

I want you to bury her out
in the wild with your brother.

I was waiting for
the best time to do it.

She was the best cat.

I know the perfect place
to bury it.

Oh...

Thank you.

I'm going to bed, Bill.

Okay.

Thank you.

Goodnight.

She thinks
I'm Dad sometimes, and...

and I don't have
the heart to tell her.

Well, shall we?

Come on, Tempest.

And I was like, yeah.

I know Jared was telling me
last week that he

he saw a couple.

Come on. Open up.

- Hey, let's go.
- Open up.

Put it down right in the back.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, Donny?

- Donny?
- What?

If you want her to go,

- you're gonna kiss at her.
- Okay.

You know,
and then give her a wallop,

- you know, a good wallop.
- Oh, shit.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Hiyah! Hiyah!

Hey!

Ah, goddammit.

- Pull her head up.
- Fuck!

- Pull her head up.
- Fuck!

Whoa, there you go. Pull back.

Motherfucking
crazy motherfucker.

All right! Are my balls
supposed to be such a mess?

Oh, they'll be
like meatloaf later.

And if you're feeling fancy,

you can do something like this.

All right?

Hey!

Oh, come on.

- You show off!
- Hey!

- Just doing my civil duty.
- Yeah.

That's why Banjo
says you're the guy.

Hey, Banjo, you see that?

- All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You see me?

- You see me, Banjo?
- You good? You good?

- Yeah?
- All right, just as long

as that check doesn't bounce.

All right.
I'm ready to get going.

- Let's go.
- Look at this mule.

Let's get started.

Oh yeah, grab the mule.
I'll follow, Donny.

All right, Donny,
you're doing really good.

Keep it up.

Might make a cowboy
out of you yet.

Hey, Donny...

come over here. I want
to show you how to put on

a hobble for your horse.

So, this is a hobble.

- Yeah.
- It's basically

- a handcuff for the horse.
- Okay.

It let's them graze,
eat around,

but not wander off too far.

All right?
So, you come down here...

you loop it around
one leg like this.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, it's a little bit scary.

For sure.

First their legs get...
come on, girl.

There you go.
Yeah, don't be scared.

It's okay. Who's a good girl?

Ho there, pony.

And there you have it.

Ah.

Okay, there you go.

All right.
Take off your saddle,

and bring the pads
over to the lean-to,

'cause that's what you're
sleeping on tonight. Okay?

All right. Okay.

Hey, I am gonna
go fill up my water.

You want some?

Oh, no, I don't
really drink much water.

- Why?
- I don't know, I don't like it?

- That's weird.
- Yeah.

I just drink mostly,
uh, club soda on set.

- Hey.
- That's good.

Beans and weans. Get 'em
while it's hot. Come on.

Yeah. Yeah. One second.

- There was actually a...
- an imaginary ,

um, and I just-I.

Oh, hold up there, Gunner.

Got a wounded bird.

Get my first aid kit.

We get...

Oh...

Just a minute too late.

I guess this is
a good spot for the burial.

What do you think?

Yeah.

Yes.

Tempest...

You were Mom's favorite cat.

I had no idea Mom
was even a Shakespeare fan

until she named you.

Every time I passed
you in the house,

you would
constantly hiss at me.

But I knew those hisses
came from a place of love.

Thanks for sharing
all your nine lives

with the Walsham family.

And to the bird I never met,

you seemed really chill,

and we could have been friends.

Anything to add, Gunner?

Rest in peace, Tempest...

And bird.

Sorry, I get emotional
around death.

Ah, man.

Fuckin' horse.

Fuckin' horse.

- Hey, good morning.
- Hey, good morning.

Vaquero ran off.

God, damn it.

Yeah, and Donny left
a saddle on him.

He's a good guy,
he's just got a coke problem.

Yeah, I don't know anybody
with a coke solution.

It's my fault.

I should have unsaddled him,

All right.

I'm gonna go do a lap.

Alright.
I'll put the coffee on.

Okay.

You'll need this.

Come on, bud.

You know, Donny,
I make that coffee

damn strong
and it won't rot your nose off.

Yeah well, coffee stains
the teeth, you know?

Ain't that right.

So where did Clay just go?

Your horse took off.

What?

I thought that's what
those hobbles were for.

Yeah, well the horses,

sometimes they get spooked
and they run off.

Alright.

Found his tracks.

He's way the hell up there.

Donny, you ready for
a little recon adventure?

- Yeah, sure.
- All right.

It's really tight up there,
so we'll leave the ponies.

Hi, pony.

I've lost it.

How in the hell could
he have gotten this far?

Because he's a half
a Mustang twat pocket.

Well, I think that it
is time for some mezcal.

Ooh. Yes, it is.

Uh-huh.

Hoo-whee!

That'll put lead in
your goddamn pencil.

Oh my God,
that's fucking strong.

Do you want a pull?

Yeah, why not?

Yeah, you do.

Whoo!

Shit.

You all right?

- Yep.
- Look, if...

if we don't find that horse

we'll have to
take turns walking.

No. No, we...

we are gonna
have to head back tomorrow if

we gonna make it
in time for his movie.

I don't know...

Oh, will you all
just calm down okay?

We're gonna find that elk,
I can feel it in my gut.

Donny, you is high.

Hey.

- Yeah.
- Hoi.

Did you hear that?

No.

- I heard it, I heard it.
- Get down, get down.

- What? What?
- Shut the fuck up Donny.

I think I heard a snipe.

- What the fuck is a snipe?
- Shut up.

All right. We'll just...

- We're gonna have to catch it.
- All right.

- Okay.
- Oh, my God.

Okay. Donny...

There's a little cabin
right on the other side

of that ridge, if you...

if you hear any noises,

you run
and you do not turn back.

All right? You get in there,

no matter what sounds you hear,
do not come out.

What the fuck,
is this thing dangerous?

Shut the fuck up Donny.

- Let's go get it.
- All right, man.

- All right.
- I love you, brother.

I love you too. Donny.

All right, go.

Tell my mother
I love her, Donny.

What the fuck.

- Run, Donny!
- Fuck, what... what the fuck?!

Run!

Tell my story!

He got my liver, Donny!
I can't...

Oh, my back!

save yourself!

Tell my mother
I love her, Donny.

Oh, it's coming!

Oh, Donny!

Donny, help me!

Donny stay in there,
don't get out.

We got you good.

- That was great.
- It was good,

you got him good.

- Fuck you.
- Oh, yeah.

So what is this place?

This is an old tie hack cabin.

Fuck is a tie hack?

Tie hackers were mostly
Swedish and Norwegian

hired to come and

cut railroad ties
and then ship 'em

down the river to
the flatlands.

Fucking Swedes?

Yeah.

With axes.

That sounds dangerous.

You know...

you know,
I don't really need an elk.

I... I really don't.
You know, I...

I just appreciate you guys
taking me on this adventure.

Oh come on,
quit getting sentimental.

Plus I want my other 50.

No, no, I mean it.

You know, it's...

it's hard
to make genuine friends,

you know,
in my work. It's...

I go from one job
to another job,

one set to another set.

Movie to movie,
I don't actually ever really...

know anyone. I just sort of
meet them, then I'm gone,

meet them and I'm gone.
And then people come up to me,

they don't even
introduce themselves.

There's no... you...
you don't know them.

I... I don't know anything about
them, it's just, you know,

fuck.

You've got shitty friends.

I'm being sincere. I am...

I mean, it's been
a long time since anyone

has legit fucked with me.

Like what real
friends do, you know?

Even my family, they tell me,

you gotta take
a break from acting.

You got to go to a rehab,
I mean, what the fuck is that?

What the fuck?

Give me back
the money, you know,

for paying
for your kids' college.

Alright?

Alright. How about you give me
back the cars I got you.

The Victorian, right?

Fuck.

You know, it just...
It sucks being famous.

I mean, I'll be your friend
for a Victorian.

You're all right, Donny.

Yeah.

Thanks, guys.

Just putting him out.
Don't be afraid.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
Look, you... you put it...

put it at the top of the ridge.

You put your tongue
right up against it

and you blow, lightly.

No, dude.

Come on, men.

Nice!

It's close.

That's a good one.

What?

No, they don't fucking
sound like that.

- Yeah.
- It's a bird.

Is that really
what they sound like?

That is what they sound like.

Donny, get your shit.

- What's that sound again?
- Shut the fuck up, Donny.

Oh, boy.

- All right. He's 104 yards out,
- Uh-huh.

All right, poke him right
behind the shoulder.

This is textbook.

- Hoo, I got her.
- Hold on, he's run out.

He's run out.
He's in the trees.

We're going to go down there
and blood drip.

Atta-boy. Come on.

Fucking got him.

Oh...

Yeah. I got it.

- Thank God.
- Yeah.

All right.

Well, let's find it. Okay. How
far could it have gone, right?

Just depends on where
you hit him, I mean...

It can go for miles, dude.

This isn't a lot of blood.
I'm not...

I'm not sure that we're going
to find this thing.

No, no, no, no, no.
We're gonna...

we're gonna get my bull.

- Yeah.
- We're gonna get 'em,

or we're gonna
get me another one. Okay?

Well, it doesn't
really work like that.

But let's go break down camp...

Whoa, whoa,
why don't we do that thing?

You called it... you call.

Like, call it with the...
the thing.

Yeah, yeah, I know.
It's not gonna come in.

You just shot it.

All right.

It's all right.
We'll get your elk.

Yeah. This isn't
a grocery store, Donny.

Yeah,
that's why it's called hunting.

Good boy. Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy?
Who's a good boy?

There it is.

Good boy. Good boy.

Good boy. Hey, Gunner, look,

I got a smile.

You probably didn't
get my letters.

You know, I...

I know I'm not
the coolest little brother.

When Dad left, I thought
I had to be a good example,

but wasn't really good
at sports or

with the ladies or...

with anything, really.

When you enlisted, I...

I thought you just enlisted
to get away from me.

I didn't know you were manic
depressive back then, so...

Now I know you were just...

setting an example for me.

Being a man and...

taking responsibility.

That's why
I became a game warden.

To make you proud of me.

I'm glad you came.

I think I see
some people over there.

Oh.

It's Clay Wilson and Banjo.

Remember Clay Wilson
from high school?

Wanna come say hi?

Come on. Let's go.

All right. Hold these.

Donny, you're walking.

I've been walking.

Walk some more.

Huh.

- Hey.
- What?

Clay?

Game warden. Twelve o'clock.

Fuck.

Donny, hide the gun.

Let me do the talking.
All right?

I know this guy from
high school, he's a pushover.

Shit.

Fuck.

Howdy-ho.

Hey, Galen.

Saw a couple handsome men
packing up,

and I was like,
hey, is that Clay Wilson

from Three Spear,
I should say what's up.

What are you doing
all the way out here?

You mean my office?

- How's Enny?
- Peachy.

We actually gotta
get back to her

Hey Banjo, long time.

- How are you doing?
- You know,

I'm, uh,
I'm feeling a little bit sick.

Must be some...
something that happened

but we should probably
get headed home

before it gets too dark, man.

I got a Tums
in my camp if you want.

Okay.

I get it.

What are you guys
doing out this deep?

Just doing an old pack trip
with the buddies.

We better get going, though.
Like Banjo said,

he's not feeling too hot.

Gotta watch that spring water
in Blitsburg Meadows.

- Yeah. Believe me.
- I always use tablets,

always, even tap sometimes.

Ah, well if I had only been
as smart as you, Galen, right?

You have a good one. All right?

- See you.
- Holy smokes.

Wait a minute.

Donny DeLuca?

Are you kidding me?

- Clay, you know him?
- Oh, yeah.

- Hey, nice to meet you.
- Galen.

I'm literally one of
your biggest fans.

Me and my mom
have seen all your films.

From Team Dracula
to Vegan Vampire.

That was a good one.
Oh, man, I just love vampires.

Mom always said it was so weird

because they're horny
all the time,

but they have no blood flow
to their privates.

All right.

Thank you, Galen.
We're gotta get going.

- All right.
- See you Galen.

Can I just get
a quick picture with you?

Of course. Yes.

Now, watch out for Petrulia.

Okay, let's get one like
you're biting my neck. Okay?

Okay.

All right, Galen.

Nice to meet you.
Give your mom a kiss for me.

I will do more than that.

I can now die a happy man.

Just hopefully not too soon.

I tell you what, if you
ever need anybody, I mean,

anything at all, like extras,
I'll fly out for free.

You got it. If we need a forest
cop, I'll let you know.

- Okay.
- Okay, Galen.

AdiĆ³s. See you.

Watch out... watch out, Galen.

- Okay.
- Hand me that mule.

Let's get out of here.

Whoa, whoa.

- You got everything?
- Yeah. Yeah, go. Go.

- Go.
- Hey, Donny. Why don't

you bite my neck?
Maybe just kiss it.

Shit.

Fuck.

Maybe we should head back.

What? Are you tired?

I... I could
really use that 50 grand.

Even with Deputy Galen,
Game Warden, out here?

Don't say anything, but, uh...

Annie's pregnant.

- What?!
- Sh-shut up. Shut up.

- We wanna keep it under wraps.
- Okay.

Oh, attaboy, attaboy.

So if... if we find this bull,

I'll throw some extra cash
in your pocket.

Ye-yeah, giddy-up, man.

Yeah, you want scratches.

Hey, Donny.

You regretting
those little bumps?

No, it's the altitude.

- Okay, I...
- You all right?

Give me a turn on the horse.

Oh, fuck!

Fuck. Oh, fuck. Fuck.

- Donny?
- Oh, shit.

My fucking ankle.

Donny, are you all right?

Goddamnit.

- Oh, shit.
- Goddamnit.

Oh. Oh... Ho.

Are you all right?

No, I'm not all right. Ow!

Shit. Oh.

I think broke my ankle.

I think I broke my ankle.

This is your fault.

This is your fault. I was
supposed to be on a horse.

You gave me that
crazy-ass fucking vaquero.

Hey.

I'm supposed to be
filming in four days.

They're going
to have to recast me.

- Oh, shit.
- Just calm down, Donny.

- Calm down, all right? Come on.
- No, fucking shit.

Fuck you.
I'm not paying you shit.

You were supposed
to keep me safe.

Oh, fuck.

What did you fucking say?

This is bullshit.

I'm not paying you shit.

A deal's a deal, Donny.

You don't pay me, we leave your
ass here and you get eaten.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Clay, not helping, not helping.

Hey, Donny. Look...

look, we're gonna get you
back up on a horse.

You are gonna ride the whole
way back, okay? I promise.

- Come on.
- A deal's a deal, Don.

- Fuck you.
- Jesus.

All right. Enough... enough.
Look, a deal is a deal.

Clay and I, we're gonna
go find your elk, okay?

We're getting you
back up on this horse,

we're riding back to camp.

I saw it go through
the willows, okay?

We can follow it in there.

- Great.
- Come on.

- Fucking help me.
- Put your arm around me, buddy.

Clay, we are not leaving him.

Oh, come on.

Donny, get up.

No, I can't.

I can't. I'm taking a break.

All right.
We'll go find your damn elk.

Wa-wa-wa-wait. Wait.

What about the bears?

You're just gonna
leave me here?

If that little shit
doesn't pay me

after he's maimed an elk,
I'll kill him.

Look, Clay, I'm...
I'm really sorry about this.

I thought it was gonna be
a cakewalk.

Hey, it's not your fault.

Oh.

- Oh, yeah.
- You got something?

Yeah, check it out.

Nice.

Clay!

Banjo!

Shit.

Howdy, neighbor.

Go, go.

Oh, fuck. Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.

What the fuck?

Clay! Clay!

What the fuck was that shot?

Oh, shit.

This is fucked.

We need to call for help.

He is the help, Donny.

Come put pressure on this.

I got it. I got it.

- It was not my fault.
- All right.

He came running out of
the fucking bushes.

I forgive you, Donny.

All right. We're gonna
get him up all the mule

and we're going to take him
directly to the hospital.

Wa-wa-wa-wait.

"Donny DeLuca comes riding
into town

with a dead forest cop,"

is a great fucking headline.

There are a lot bigger problems
than your fucking movie, Donny.

Oh, shit!

Come on, buddy.

Come on, boy.
Let's do it. Come on.

- Banjo, you all right?
- Fuck, no. What hell, man?

I don't know
what the fuck that was.

Donny, kill your fucking light.

Sorry.

- Where's the mule?
- I left that shit.

- Fuck.
- Who the fuck was that?

That was Gunner.

Stop and recover?
We got this...

redneck psycho after us, fuck.

Yeah, well, we've been
walking all night, Donny.

Yeah, cause it's your fault.

You shot his brother.

He's still a psycho.

He probably has some PTSD, man.

- He was in Special Forces.
- It wasn't the war.

Dude is clinically fucked,
always has been.

Annie went to prom with him
because she felt sorry for him.

Afterwards he fell in love
with her, started stalking her.

He's a fucking weirdo!

So this is your bitch
of a wife's fault?

Where was that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, shit.

- Donnie, hold it.
- Donny.

Hold the pressure, come on.

God damnit!

He's a goner.

No, no, we can't
just leave him, man.

- What about him?
- Come on, let's go.

Did he shoot the horses?

Keep moving.

This guy is a lunatic, Clay.

Yeah, he's not gonna quit
till we dead.

- Be ready.
- I'm ready!

He got you?

- Oh.
- Fuck.

- You alright?
- No, man he got me.

How bad?

It's bad, motherfucker.

- Clay. Come on.
- What?

You gotta run. You gotta run!

No.

Where do you think
he's heading next, huh?

I'm not leaving you, Banjo.

Think of that family.

Fuck, Banjo.

Go. Clay, go.

All right.

Come on.

Oh. Oh.

No. Shit.

Shit.

Oh, my God... oh, my God.

Whoa. Whoa there.
Whoa, good girl.

Whoa now, whoa now.

Hey, whoa, whoa.

Good girl. Hey...
that's my good girl.

Oh, my God. Turn around.

Good girl. Oh, my God.

All right. There's a good girl.

Hey, whoa now, baby.

What you doing?
You all right? Good girl.

We're gonna run like hell now.
You ready?

Come on.

Whoa.

Ah!

Ya.

- Clay!
- Annie?

- Hi honey. Hi.
- Annie?

Hi, hi, hi.
Hi, baby, are you okay?

- Annie. Oh.
- Come on.

- Hi.
- Annie.

Oh, babe. Are you okay? What...

- Oh, yeah, he got me.
- Gee.

I'm sorry. You were right.

No, no, I just asked you
to come home to me.

Did I ever tell you
you were dream girl?

- No.
- Oh.

You're my dream girl.

Hey Clay...

Do you remember number three?

Mm.

Okay.

"Always finish
what you started."
