I think Vines hired the blond man to blow up Drumco well.
He's killing everybody who can tie him to it.
- You better have your sheep sheared
and your silver shined before you go after a man like Vines.
- Yeah, well, I found the geology report
for the Drumco site up on the Malpaís.
The blond man tried to burn it,
along with some other things from Vines's safe.
The only way that Vines
could've got his hands on that report
is if Dillon Charley gave it to him or was paid to.
- Keep talking.
- Dillon worked for Drumco. He and Vines were close.
Vines supported his church.
- People of Darkness. - Yeah.
I think Dillon was dealing Vines information
about the Drumco drilling operation.
- That explosion was almost four years ago.
Dillon Charley's been dead two.
Why these killings now?
- 'Cause Emerson Charley found out he was dying from cancer.
It changed everything. - How?
- Emerson knew what his brother had done
and that Vines had something on Dillon
that he kept in his safe.
Emerson didn't want to die with his brother's stain
on his conscience.
So I think he asked Tomas to get the report from the safe
so he could take it to the authorities before he died.
- That's a lot of ifs you're thinking.
What else you got?
- You.
Nobody knows more about explosives--
how they work, what they leave behind.
