The Hunting Party (2025) s02e02 Episode Script
Adrian Gallo

Previously on "The Hunting Party"
It's called the Pit.
It's home to the most
dangerous and violent
criminals in history, all of whom
the world believes are dead.
Or at least it was until the blast hit.
[dramatic music]
How many inmates got out?
You're here, Agent
Henderson, to help us catch them.
I want my team back.
You're gonna reinstate us today.
The day Odell died, Shane
asked me to do voice rec.
It matched a personnel file
for a Colonel Evelyn Lazarus.
Effective immediately,
Attorney General Mallory
has been relieved of
her command regarding
the inmate recovery effort.
I am in charge now.

Colonel Lazarus has
quite the storied career,
long list of high stakes appointments
with command positions at every level.
Still working on a deep dive to make sure
everything checks out.
But this whole thing is
a little concerning.
Well, I would say the attorney general
getting kicked out by
the military is more than
a little concerning.
I don't trust her.
Recapturing the inmates
for the AG is one thing,
but it feels like
she's got her own agenda.
Maybe, but I can confirm
that Ron Simms was transferred
to the same black site facility
that the other
recaptured inmates went to.
I'm still running point
in that operation,
so there's no change on the back end.
You said Odell found
a way to work with her.
Maybe we can too.
She wanted this post for a reason.
We need to figure out why.
That starts by finding out who
it is that we're working for.
It says here she came up
through West Point.
I served a joint mission with an army CO
who graduated around the same time.
I could call him,
ask if he knows anything.
Do it quietly.
The last thing we need is Lazarus knowing
we're looking into her.
What about this new guy?
He hasn't left his office all morning.
Is he playing Solitaire?
Jonathan Peck.
He seems nice enough.
Eh, Lazarus's lackey?
Now, we don't know that.
We actually don't know anything.
So we should start
by getting some answers.
Hey, sorry. We got a hit.
[suspenseful music]
We intercepted a daily bulletin
from a private security company
in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
A resident reported a suspicious stranger
lurking outside a home
in his neighborhood.
Los Alamos?
Yes, the reported address once belonged
to one of the victims of Pit inmate H23.
Adrian Gallo.
Sorry, who filed that report?
The bulletin doesn't name the resident.
Are we sure that's him?
Can we, like, magnify
or enhance the image
or whatever tech thing you guys do?
This is the best that I can
do with the technology that
Hang on.
Thank you, Morales.
How did you do that?
Definitely not AI.
Let's pull up his Pit file.
♪
- It's kind of hard to see if it's
- No, it's him. It's Adrian.
Of course you know who this guy is.
It's hard to forget him.
He killed six people
by encasing them in resin.
♪
Whoa.
This is so disturbing,
and yet I cannot look away.
All their eyes are open.
I guess he was going for
a still living kind of vibe.
Is there a pattern for victim selection?
As far as I can remember,
victim selection was random,
with the exception being the fourth kill.
The lead detective on the case.
Detective Jack Waylon
of the Los Alamos PD.
- A 30-year veteran.
- Damn.
Jack Waylon's partner was the one
that eventually brought him down.
She got justice for the victims
and for her partner.
Her name is Erica Burke.
Now it's time for the courts
to get justice for the victims,
including my partner,
Detective Jack Waylon.
And the lawyers might kill me
for saying this,
but I hope that son of a bitch
rots in prison
for the rest of his short, pathetic life.

He deserves the darkest corner
of hell for what he's done.
I'm just gonna say it. I like her vibe.
All right, let's get to New Mexico
before this guy does
any more arts and crafts.
Ooh.
Agent Henderson.
Uh, what do we have?
[tense music]
Uh, we have a hit
on Adrian Gallo in New Mexico.

as yet unidentified.

Yes. Hello.
I have an emergency.
What can we do for you, Mr. Wilkins?
The vagrant is back, and I can
say for certain that he is drugging.
Is he there right now?
For sure?
Because when we came the other day
No, no. He's gone.
But he's he's going to be back.
This is the second time he's been here.
We'll send someone by.

Here's what I love most
about working with resin.
Once it cures, nothing can be changed.
It's one of the few things in
life that's truly permanent.
So it's a delicate business
knowing when the resin
is set enough to prop the eyelids open.
That window for getting
all the little details right
starts closing the second
you pour on the epoxy.
Now, the dead specimens look basically
the same as the live version,
so all you have to do is
capture them and freeze them.
24 hours usually does it,
although for the big boys,
you know, 48 to 72 is safer.
Then you can pose them.
And nobody fights back.
They die peaceful in the cold.
It's like going to sleep.
Worst TED Talk ever.
How's a guy even come up
with something like this?
Well, for Adrian,
encasing his victims in resin
grew out of a fascination
for the form itself.
So growing up, he and his mom
would move around a lot.
It was very unstable
and chaotic environment.
But eventually,
they wound up in New Mexico.
But that's when her health
began to decline.
So Adrian discovered a new hobby,
resin embedding,
which was his coping mechanism.
It's a specimen preservation technique
popular in the Southwest.
Nope.
Don't need that.
What, you don't like spiders?
Nobody likes spiders.
Well, actually Adrian does.
And scorpions and lizards
and anything that he can encase in resin.
But for him, it was about
preserving something beautiful,
especially after the loss of his mother.
He craved permanence.
Nothing says permanence
like a human paperweight.
No, to him, there is no difference
between killing a scorpion
and killing a human being.
It says here
when Gallo was first arrested,
he refused to admit to any of his crimes.
He even offered to help the police
find the actual killer.
Well, that was awful nice of him.
It's actually more common
in serials than you'd think.
But in this video,
Gallo seems proud of his kills.
How did the Pit doctors get him
from claiming innocence
- to waxing poetic about eyelids?
- Hmm.
In his file, it lists IAT,
Immersive Accountability Technique.
They would show Adrian
hours and hours of imagery
of his crimes, case files,
witness reports,
crime scene photos,
even victim impact statements
from family members.
I hope that sick
son of a bitch rots in prison
for the rest of his short, pathetic life.
Let me guess. Dr. Dulles was
a big "Clockwork Orange" fan.
I think it's actually Dr. Charles
as the supervising researcher.
Oh, great, because we know
how well his therapies
worked on Ron Simms.
Can we talk to him?
The doctor has him in an induced coma
after what Simms did to him.
They said they'd let us know
if there's an update.
Flooding Adrian's senses
with undeniable evidence
of his crimes was supposed
to make him take accountability
for his actions.
They did this for days and days on end.
How long until Gallo finally cracked?
One year before he finally admitted
to the first three kills.
They did this to him for a year?
And four years before he
finally admitted to all of it.
[phone buzzing]
Local PD just found a body.
[siren whooping, indistinct chatter]
Vic's name is Carl Wilkins.
14 years ago, Adrian
abducted his fifth victim
from the house across the street.
Mr. Wilkins here,
he was the main eyewitness.
So Gallo came for revenge.
That's pretty clean.
Yeah, except the security company logs
say that Wilkins reported
seeing the same vagrant
twice this week.
All right, so he comes by the first time
to case the joint,
second time does his thing.
Yeah, but the report says he was lurking
around the neighbor's house,
not Wilkins' place.
Well, he forgot which place was Wilkins.
Either way, if Gallo is
on a revenge tour,
we've got to get black and whites on
everyone that was involved in the case.
Stepping out to make some calls.
What you got there, Bex?
Shoe prints.
Adrian stood there right
after he killed Mr. Wilkins.
He stood exactly where the witness stood
all those years ago.
Is he trying to relive
a piece of the crime
by stepping into the witness's shoes?
I don't know. Maybe. But you're right.
It doesn't feel like revenge
is the only driver here.
No.
OK, we got to talk to
someone that knows this case.
What about the the detective
who caught him?
You know, the one whose
partner was killed.
- Erica Burke, yeah.
- Yeah.
What's a badass detective

There is no way I'm bringing a stranger

Morales, I need you to find out
what happened to the six
resin dead bodies.
Somebody got into that warehouse.
I wanna know how they're connected.
Well, stealing dead bodies
does sound like
the kind of weirdo crap Pit
scientists would eat right up.
But I haven't seen anything
in Adrian's treatment records
to indicate anyone from the Pit
ever visited that warehouse.
But we all know those guys
had their little pet projects.
Are you OK?
This is a lot.
I get if it's weighing on you.
It's not that.
It's Adrian.
If he doesn't get his resins
He's gonna want to make more.
Which means he's preparing.
First, he'll need his supplies.

Resin powder.
Isopropyl alcohol.
Acrylic monomer.
He'll need a respirator for
the fumes and a dehumidifier.
Any big box store worth its salt
will have everything he needs.

Next, he'll find a workspace,
someplace he won't be disturbed.
He'll make sure it's hotter
and drier than hell.
♪
He'll need to limit
the moisture in the air.
Otherwise, the resin will
cloud as it hardens.
Last thing he'll need is a victim.
Someone he can preserve forever.

How's the treasure hunt going?
I just hit another dead end.
This is so incredibly frustrating.
What's so incredibly frustrating?
Uh, if Dr. Charles did take those resins,
he hid his trail really well.
I may be able to help.

I've searched every single server.
I can't work with records
that don't exist.
Follow me.
Major Morales, I understand
that my predecessor
did things a certain way,
and there are natural questions
about how the new guy is gonna operate.
But first, I don't get
in the way of my people.
I assume that you're here
because you're the best
at what you do,
and I ask that you extend me
the same courtesy.
[beeping]
And second, I have a luxury
that Oliver Odell did not.
I don't work for the Pit,
which means I have no reason
to keep you or your team in the dark.
My only job here is to help.
[beeping]
What is this?
When I took this job,
I asked that any items of value
pulled from the blast site be cataloged
and placed in a secure vault
here on site.
And this is everything recovered
from Dr. Charles's office,
including the hard drive
from his personal computer.
Now, this I can work with.
All these years without Jack,
I took comfort in the fact
that Adrian was dead,
and that I would never have to see
that sick son of a bitch again.
And then today,
talking to him, seeing him,
it just brought all of it back.
I was in such a dark place.
I lost everything.
I was obsessed.
[scoffs]
Thought I was done with all of this.
That's the thing about
the job, though, isn't it?
We're never really done.
Ain't that the truth?
[notification chimes]
We got a hit on
Wilkins' stolen credit card.
Looks like you were right.
Adrian went shopping.
You're not gonna come?
Adrian took everything from me.
And he doesn't deserve
to walk this Earth.
But the last time I went down this road,
I barely made it back.
I'm gonna sit this one out.
You don't seem like the type
to run away from a fight.
I'm not.

Here's what I love most
about working with resin.
Once it cures, nothing can be changed.
It's one of the few things in
life that's truly permanent.
So it's a delicate business
knowing when the resin
is set enough to prop the eyelids open.
That window for getting
all the little details right
starts closing the second
you pour on the epoxy.
Now, the dead specimens look basically
the same as the live version,
so all you have to do is
capture them and freeze them.
24 hours usually does it,
although for the big boys,
you know, 48 to 72 is safer.
Then you can pose them.
And nobody fights back.
They die peaceful in the cold.
It's like going to sleep.
Worst TED Talk ever.
How's a guy even come up
with something like this?
Well, for Adrian,
encasing his victims in resin
grew out of a fascination
for the form itself.
So growing up, he and his mom
would move around a lot.
It was very unstable
and chaotic environment.
But eventually,
they wound up in New Mexico.
But that's when her health
began to decline.
So Adrian discovered a new hobby,
resin embedding,
which was his coping mechanism.
It's a specimen preservation technique
popular in the Southwest.
Nope.
Don't need that.
What, you don't like spiders?
Nobody likes spiders.
Well, actually Adrian does.
And scorpions and lizards
and anything that he can encase in resin.
But for him, it was about
preserving something beautiful,
especially after the loss of his mother.
He craved permanence.
Nothing says permanence
like a human paperweight.
No, to him, there is no difference
between killing a scorpion
and killing a human being.
It says here
when Gallo was first arrested,
he refused to admit to any of his crimes.
He even offered to help the police
find the actual killer.
Well, that was awful nice of him.
It's actually more common
in serials than you'd think.
But in this video,
Gallo seems proud of his kills.
How did the Pit doctors get him
from claiming innocence
- to waxing poetic about eyelids?
- Hmm.
In his file, it lists IAT,
Immersive Accountability Technique.
They would show Adrian
hours and hours of imagery
of his crimes, case files,
witness reports,
crime scene photos,
even victim impact statements
from family members.
I hope that sick
son of a bitch rots in prison
for the rest of his short, pathetic life.
Let me guess. Dr. Dulles was
a big "Clockwork Orange" fan.
I think it's actually Dr. Charles

Oh, great, because we know
how well his therapies
worked on Ron Simms.
Can we talk to him?
The doctor has him in an induced coma
after what Simms did to him.
They said they'd let us know
if there's an update.
Flooding Adrian's senses
with undeniable evidence
of his crimes was supposed
to make him take accountability
for his actions.
They did this for days and days on end.
How long until Gallo finally cracked?
One year before he finally admitted
to the first three kills.
They did this to him for a year?
And four years before he
finally admitted to all of it.

[siren whooping, indistinct chatter]
Vic's name is Carl Wilkins.
14 years ago, Adrian
abducted his fifth victim

Mr. Wilkins here,

So Gallo came for revenge.
That's pretty clean.
Yeah, except the security company logs
say that Wilkins reported
seeing the same vagrant
twice this week.
All right, so he comes by the first time
to case the joint,
second time does his thing.
Yeah, but the report says he was lurking
around the neighbor's house,
not Wilkins' place.
Well, he forgot which place was Wilkins.
Either way, if Gallo is
on a revenge tour,
we've got to get black and whites on

You know, Erica,
you almost had me fooled.
Adrian didn't wanna see his resins.
He knew his were destroyed.
He wanted to see yours,

you could not stop at three.
Isn't that right?
And those missing person flyers
you proudly have displayed,
they're trophies of your victims. No?
I do love to see their faces.

Let me tell you something, girly.
It sure was fun.
You know the thing they say

Hell, if it ain't true.
The hardest part, keeping
the damn thing a secret.
I had to find someplace to keep them.
Honestly, I'm a little relieved.
I did too good a job not getting caught.
Adrian's mistake was,
he displayed his creations.
If he had just kept them hidden away,
we never would have found him.
Truth is, Bex,
you do this job long enough,
the darkness will leave its mark.

No.
You can just turn a light on.
What?
Well, where's the darkness then?

The light always wins, Bex.
The trick is finding something

OK.
All right.

So I spoke with to buddy
who went to the Point with our new boss.
Turns out Laz was a company legend.
Top of her class.
Even set a couple of records.
Well, that sounds exhausting.
Oh, yeah, she used to
piss off all the guys
by kicking their ass
during physical training.
Apparently, she could run
a sub five-minute mile.
Wow.
OK, so her record checks out.
Her military record, yeah.
But I had my guy do
a deep background check
on everything before she enlisted.
Any red flags?
No flags, at all.
No birth certificate,
no driver's license.
Not even a library card.
Look, I know government spooks,
but this is next level.
